Any information that you provide to us remains confidential, and is never shared with nor sold to another party.
When you go to the InternetSecure site to complete your purchase, you will be required to provide information that they need to authenticate the Credit Card information. We also need the same information in order to label your package.
Some people have questioned the need for providing their telephone number and their email address as well. We only print your telephone number on the invoice (so that the Customs Office can reach you if they have to) but do nothing else with it. As for the email address, that is required if you want us to tell you when your package ships.
It is to your advantage to provide accurate shipping information if you want to receive your goods with the least delay.
The Credit Card information you provide to InternetSecure travels as an encypted message directly to the bank. It is never stored at InternetSecure, and at no time do we at Elm Electronics have access to it. If the card information you provided was acceptable to the bank, they will send an 'authorization number', signalling that it is OK to fill your order.
I suppose we should confess that there is one other thing that we do with your address. We have
a map of the world on one wall, and as we ship orders, we put glow-in-the-dark
stars on the map for each new location. We're pleased to say that it is filling up nicely.
