Our policy at NorTac.hosting and the South Puget Sound
Small Business Directory and Value Stores is one of the utmost respect for your personal
privacy.
Privacy is what makes shopping online so satisfying. This is why we've developed policies
for customer privacy that all of our online stores must follow:
All online ordering is processed using secure servers that utilize the technology called
SSL
or Secure Socket Layering. This encrypts your order so that others cannot intercept your
credit
card or other information online through hacking attempts. No private or personal customer
information is EVER
transmitted by electronic mail.
Along with encryption of your personal information, if we get a credit card order, we've
checked
it thoroughly. We use a sophisticated electronic system to check for stolen credit card
numbers
and verify information.
If anything is unusual about the order, such as the shipping address being different from
the
billing address, we ALWAYS call the cardholder. When calling the cardholder, we ask
specific
questions about the order that only the cardholder would know if he or she actually
ordered it.
If we're provided a fake telephone number, we report the card number to the issuing bank
for
investigation of fraud. We do not allow strange transactions, such as international
orders
being shipped to international addresses while being billed to stateside credit card
numbers,
to occur at all. Even if the phone number is international, we call first.
No personal information belonging to customers will be given to any third party for ANY
reason
to include but not limited to the following:
Name
Address
Telephone Number
Email address
Credit card information
Purchasing habits |
No spam will be tolerated, either from our company email boxes, or of anyone else's email
boxes.
(spam is unsolicited advertising in one's email box)
Credit card numbers, once processed for an order, will be deleted from any computer
systems and
marked out by black permanent marker if customer invoices are kept on file
If any customer information is on printed material and must be thrown away, it will be
shredded
before being disposed of
