At Ateson we respect and value your privacy and we take all reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information we collect is kept securely to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access or change.
Collection & Use of Information
We collect personal information when you purchase an item from us, either in store or online, or if you apply for a credit account with us. This information will be used for the delivery of our goods, the maintenance of our marketing database and the provision of your credit account.
This information may be provided to our business associates and others for purposes directly related to the purpose for which the personal information is collected.
We will not use or disclose your personal information for any other purpose without your consent unless we are legally required to.
The type of information we are collecting and storing is:
- your name,
- address,
- phone number,
- fax number,
- email address
- And the details of your purchases from us.
We do not store credit card details. All credit card information is passed onto our bank for processing. We do however record the last four digits of your credit card for verification of your card upon delivery. We may also from time to time request a copy of your driver’s licence and credit card to confirm delivery if you are not going to be home to ensure the transaction is not fraudulent
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
