Privacy

We practice OPSEC and deploy COMSEC. Matter of fact, we'll bet our 256-bit network Rijndael Advanced Encryption Standard is harder to crack than that controlled-crypto ANC-D...

We collect customer information in different places throughout this site. We pledge not to share, sell, or otherwise provide such information to any outside parties, except as explained here: The sole exception to this policy is the provision of payment information to our payment partners. For direct acceptance of credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover) through our website, we provide our partner payment gateway with the customer name, billing address (but NOT shipping address), and card number, expiration date, and CID/CVV2/CVC2 codes (these are the 3-4 digit codes on the back of the card that must be entered for fraud protection). Unlike some online merchants, we do NOT provide our payment gateway with customer email addresses or phone numbers; we believe that's none of their business. Even with the above minimal information (that we must provide the payment gateway so as to actually bill the customer credit card), we have ensured that the their privacy policy is so strict as to utterly safeguard this information. For PayPal use, we only provide the total amount of the purchase; all other information, such as customer PayPal ID and any further payment details (such as bank account and routing number for electronic checks), are entered manually by the customer directly on the PayPal site.

We encrypt all remote communications, both from and to our servers, that include any type of payment card information. Furthermore, we never ever store any credit card information on any of our servers, even temporarily, to mitigate and compartmentalize any risks of server intrusion.
