Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

We understand your need for privacy and we completely respect it.  If you don’t trust us, you won’t buy from us.  To help you better understand what we do (and DON'T do) with your information, we’ve written out our privacy policy out for you in simple terms (even Rocky can understand it):

Mailing List

If you sign up for our Newsletter, you provide us with your email address and full name. We will only send you emails once every other month or so updating you with new products, specials, sales, closeouts, etc.  We will NEVER give / sell / rent any of your information (email, name, address, etc) to ANYONE.  PERIOD. 

If you choose to opt out of our email, we will delete your name immediately.  When you place an order, you’re asked to check a box if you’d like to sign up.  If you do NOT want to sign up, don’t check the box.  If you accidentally checked the box, let us know and we’ll delete you from our mailing list manually.  If you need to be taken off the mailing list, please email me at [email protected]

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

This site is owned and operated by USA Kilts. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us.  We want to make your experience online satisfying and safe. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.

USA Kilts gathers two types of information about users:

  1. Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to email a friend, and your name and address (if / when you checkout).
  2. Information USA Kilts gathers through tracking information is derived by tallying page views throughout our site. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers’ needs and to help us better understand the demographics of our customers. As in the Mailing list above, you’ll note that we don’t ever sell / give / rent any of your information to anyone.

Usage Tracking

USA Kilts tracks user traffic patterns throughout our site. However, we do not track data about individual users.  USA Kilts does break down overall usage statistics according to a user’s domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user’s browser).  We also track “keyword searches” that bring customers to our sites from sites like www.yahoo.com and www.google.com.

Cookies

We may place a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you’ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, if you place something in your cart and leave the site and come back 3 days later, cookies will enable that item to remain in your cart.

Sharing of Information

USA Kilts uses the information we gather to tailor our website’s content to suit your needs and help us understand our customers’ demographics. This is essential to helping us make USA Kilts the best kilt company on the net. We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process.

Security

USA Kilts operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our website has its’ own dedicated server to help heighten the level of security.  Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

Our Online Store and Credit Card Information

When you pay using a credit card in our Online Store, we immediately process that transaction. That means that we get an immediate response from your credit card company as to whether the transaction passed or failed. No matter what the result, we do not store your credit card number. All we store is the confirmation code your credit card company sends to us. We do not see your card number.  This makes for a VERY secure transaction.

 

USA Kilts does NOT store credit card or other sensitive information on its servers. Any such information is temporarily stored on our secure Gateway, operated by USAePay, Inc at the time of the order.

Children

Consistent with the Federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.  Our website contains no “questionable” or “adult content”.

Your Consent

By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by USA Kilts. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect and how we use it.
