Tarps Plus order form collects customer contact information such as name,
address, e-mail address, telephone number, and credit card financial
information needed to process and bill an order. We take numerous
precautions to protect customer information and the sensitive
information that is submitted to us is protected both online and
offline.
The contact information is necessary to personalize and send information
about orders to our customers, to fulfill and notify you of delivery,
and to get in touch with you if necessary for customer service or
questions about an order. We may also use customer information and the
Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the
Internet to improve the content of our site, to improve your shopping
experience, and for marketing
and promotional purposes.
We also collect contact information about gift recipients to ensure
correct gift delivery. We may send special offers and information about
new items or features to our valued customers and gift recipients from
time to time. The recipient may always opt out of receiving future
mailings. Customers may join our mailing list by choosing to register on
our home page or during the checkout process. You can contact us to
unsubscribe and we
will remove your name and e-mail address from any future mailings. A
page of our site is forwarded to the specified e-mail recipient only
when you use the Refer-a-Friend feature on our site.
Tarpsplus.com does not use cookies to track customer movement on our
site. However, Yahoo! uses cookies to facilitate the checkout process.
Please see the Yahoo! Privacy Policy. You may still make purchases at
our site if you have set your browser to disable cookies but
functionality may be limited.
Security
We understand and share your concern about security and privacy. It is
reassuring to know that it is statistically safer to use your credit
card on the web than to use it in a store or restaurant. The information
that you provide when placing an order with us (e.g. your name, address,
and credit card information) is secure. It cannot be read or tampered
with during
transmission.
Tarpsplus.com is hosted by Yahoo! Store on its secure servers and our
orders are processed using their shopping cart. Our checkout process
uses industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt
and scramble all personal information including your name, address, and
credit card information so that it may not be read by others as it
travels over the Internet. Secure Socket Layer encryption is employed
during checkout when the URL in browsers, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer and Netscape
Navigator, changes from "http" to "https". The "s" indicates that you
are in a secure area. Your browser may also show a pop-up window when
you are here.
For your security, we authorize your credit card after we obtain
confirmation that your card is a valid number and has not been reported
lost or stolen. We also verify that the "Bill To" address matches the
address on the credit card used. It is not uncommon for a request for
credit card authorization to fail at times. We will contact you if we
experience such
difficulties and you may wish to provide another credit card.
Email is not encrypted so please do not transmit your credit card number
via e-mail.
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, the maximum amount that your bank can
require you pay for any fraudulent charge on your credit card is up to
$50. Notify your credit card company immediately should you ever suspect
a fraudulent charge on your credit card as you would for any other
unauthorized charge. |
