Privacy Policy

Verkoso is committed to maintaining accuracy, confidentiality and security of your personal information, as well as providing you with a secure and easy shopping experience online. The policies below outline the principles we follow when handling your personal information. Please review them carefully to make sure you understand them and agree with them. By providing us with your information and placing orders, you agree to the terms below. These terms are subject to change and the most recent version can be found at http://verkoso.com/policy/ at all times. This document was last updated on November 18, 2007.

Collection of Information

No personal information is collected by Verkoso without your consent. Such information includes name, email address, shipping and billing address, phone number and credit card information. You can view our website and place items into a shopping bag without providing us with any of your personal information. If you use a shopping bag, a small piece of information called a "cookie" is saved by your browser and transmitted to our website. This cookie contains a randomly generated text string that is only used to track which items you place into your shopping bag and has no personal information in it.

If you decide to proceed with a purchase or create an online Rendezvous account at Verkoso, you will need to enter some personal information, but only to the extent required to help us provide our services to you.

Security of Your Information

Your information is secured on several levels. All transactions that include your personal information are transmitted between your browser and our servers via an industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. The information is further secured with passwords on our servers and may be reviewed by you in the secure section of our website after providing a correct password of your choice.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it will never be stored in an unsecured way: we use industry grade encryption at all times when this information is stored on our servers or transmitted to your financial institution for verification.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or court order. We may also use all available information to confirm your order, prevent and detect fraud or abuse, respond to your requests or inquiries, and provide you with other administrative information regarding your order. Your financial institution and our shipping service providers are among those that we will share your personal information with to fulfill your orders. The information we provide to third parties is always the minimum necessary to complete the requested service.

We will never sell or lease any of your personal information to third parties. Sharing of your personal information may only be done with the intent and in a way stated above.

Communication

If you provide us with your email address, we may occasionally send you information regarding updates of our products or services. If you do not wish to receive such information, contact us with your direct request.

We may use your email and phone number to notify you about the changes in your order status, or verify information pertaining to your orders. To make sure your shopping experience with us remains problem free, you may not opt out of such communications. You will also be notified by email when significant changes are made to you online account, such as change of address, password, or placement of an order.

Anonymous communication between your web browser and our website is made possible through collection of some impersonal information such as IP address and cookies. We may use this information for statistical and analytical purposes to help improve our website. Your IP address may be used in combination with your personal information for fraud protection.

Updating Your Personal Information

You may change any part of your personal information by logging into your online account or contacting us with a direct request. Please see our contact information at http://verkoso.com/contact/. You may also remove you online account from our web-site entirely. Note, however, that information pertaining to specific orders you have placed with us remains on our records even if you remove your online account.
