Protection of Customer Information

We understand the importance of privacy to our customers and visitors to our Web site. Our policy is to treat what we learn about our customers as confidential. For example, we will not give or sell confidential or personal information about our customer to any third party not affiliated with their transaction, except as required by law or as necessary to provide Payment Keys products to our customers.

We collect and store information about every transaction that we handle so that we can efficiently provide the products demanded by our customers. We use information about our customers, their orders, and their business needs to provide or enhance the products and services we make available to our customers, to enhance our ability to communicate with our customers about additional products they may find of value, to satisfy our legitimate business interests (including performing trend analysis and market studies), to set prices, establish credit, accomplish the billing function, and to comply with government regulations.

As we collect and use information about our customers, we may contract with vendors to assist us in processing that information. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than helping to provide services to our customers.

Some of the information collected by Payment Keys is personal data or data which relates to an identifiable person. Examples of personal data are names, addresses, e-mail addresses, credit card numbers and telephone numbers. We never sell information to third parties that could be used to specifically identify an individual customer or group of customers. Finally, we do provide personal data to government agencies as required by law or regulation.

In addition to the uses of the information described in the paragraphs above, we collect telephone numbers and e-mail addresses in the event that we have to contact the purchaser, or the shipment recipient, to resolve a question or provide shipment status information.


Shipment Information

Information, including personal information (name, address and phone number), provided as part of a transaction represents a record of that business transaction and cannot be altered after the transaction is complete except as provided in the Payment Keys , Terms and Conditions. The Payment Keys Terms and Conditions are available at www.paymentkeys.com.

Security and Integrity of Information

We treat our data as assets that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ information security techniques to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. Access to customer information is limited to those employees who have a legitimate business need for that information.

The Payment Keys internet sites are currently located in the United States. The Payment Keys internet sites, and their supporting systems, employ generally accepted information security techniques such as firewalls, access control procedures and cryptography to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access.

Retention of Customer Information

We retain information about customers as necessary for business purposes and as required by government regulation. For example, we retain information about purchases, including names and addresses, so that we can provide proof of purchase and to process claim requests. We carefully dispose of records and delete information when retention periods expire.
