SECURITY AND PRIVACY
POLICY
Gnostic
Editions is committed to protecting your privacy. Only limited
personal information is collected about you, and that is only used to
enable shopping and make return visits to the site much easier.
When
you confirm an order, we obviously need to take your name, e-mail
address, home address, and your credit or debit card details. This
information is vital so that we are able to actually process your
order
and deliver your goods. Your payment details are
not stored anywhere on our website, nor in the database that runs the
site, hence the reason why you will always be asked to input your card
details every time you place an order. It might seem like an
inconvenience, but we believe this is the safest approach.
We
do store some personal information about you but this is in a secure
database, and is entered via a secure order form. We are registered
with PayPal, who are widely recognized in the online commerce arena. To
get their seal of approval we had had to fulfil some strict security
criteria.
All personal and card information is
entered via a secure server, whose software (Secure Socket Layers
(SSL) protocol has an encryption key length of 128 bits (the highest
level commercially available), encrypting all data you enter before it
is transmitted to us.
PayPal is a secure and
easy-to-use method of making on-line purchases, with the added security
advantage that your credit card details are at no time accessible to
third parties including Gnostic Editions. We only have access to
your shipping and contact details. We adhere strictly to security
procedures as required by the U.K. Data Protection Acts of 1984 and
1988, in storing your details, to prevent unauthorised access.
We
will not sell any information obtained via our site to any third party
or organisation. We may occasionally make use of it ourselves to let
you know about newly published books or any other related information.
Most of all, we
thank you for visiting and shopping on our site. If you have any
questions about privacy, please contact us.
