Privacy and Security Policy

 

Gum Creek has created this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to privacy. Your privacy is very important to us.

Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Secure communications on the web require attention to authentication, encryption and data integrity. All three are addressed by industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol. We use SSL to communicate with secure browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer and mobile device browsers such as iPhone and Android. This means that your name, address, credit card numbers and any other information you provide through SSL are encrypted in a way that makes it extremely difficult for others to decode. We use this technology to make your online visit as secure as possible. All payment information is collected in a secure environment. You can tell if your computer is using SSL when you see a lock at the bottom of your screen or by checking the URL to ensure it is pointing to "https."

Our security measures do not end once you have completed your online order. For example, the moment you press "submit" to send your order, the encrypted order is sent directly to our order processing system.

How We Use Information

All information is collected by Gum Creek. We will never sell or disclose any customer information to any third party.

Cookies & How We Use Them

Our shopping cart functionality is based on "cookies" or customized pieces of information our site stores on your hard drive. Because cookies only contain text, they cannot transmit a virus or damage your system. They cannot gather information about you or your computer. The sole purpose of storing cookies is to remember information about your account and make online shopping easier. If you prefer not to accept cookies, it may be necessary to call to place your order.
