The outside organization does not store any personal information that we provide from shopping transactions.

We understand that we are responsible for the personal information that you are entrusting with us. As such, when we are in possession of your information, we use the latest and highest regarded security tools to ensure its protection. Your personal information will be password-protected so that only you will have access.

Should any breach of your personal information occur, we will inform you as soon as possible.
