Privacy Policy
Abaris International Ltd does not disclose buyers' information to third parties. Personal information is private so we treat it with the highest standards of security and confidentiality. We will not sell or give any information we have about you to any other company. Your credit/debit card and personal information are safe with us. Only with your permission will we send information about our latest products and offers, and keep you up to date with what's going on at Abaris International Ltd.
When you shop with Abaris International Ltd, there are different ways we gather information about you:
When you register with us, we ask for information such as your name, e-mail address, delivery address, contact details and, if you place an order, your credit card details. We keep a record of this information. All this is necessary for us to recognise you as a registered customer and to fulfil the orders you place with us.
We keep a record of your purchases with us, which means that we can deal quickly and efficiently with any problems you may experience with your order.
We keep a record of any e-mail correspondence you send us. This helps us keep track any problems or concerns you've had with our products or services.
Security
Abaris International Limited takes precautions to protect users' information. When sensitive information is submitted via our website, that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL (Digital encryptian). Once an order is received, the payment details are erased. The servers on which we collect and store personal information are kept in a secure environment.
All our payments are processed by Worldpay who use a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data. Their public web servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority, ensuring that both the shopper and retailer can have confidence that nobody can impersonate WorldPay to obtain confidential information. We have also signed up to Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode which provides another layer of security by asking for a password to verify the transaction (When you come to make a payment on our site using your card, your bank's Verified by Visa/MasterCard SecureCode page will appear and ask you to enter your password - You will need to set this up through your own bank. If you do not enter the password, your transaction will not be processed. This means that if your card details are ever stolen, the thief will not be able to use them to make payments on sites such as ours). As with all "card not present" environments, your card issuers provide the right for you to dispute a transaction if the goods/services did not arrive or if the card was used fraudulently.
Cookies
Cookies are used on this shopping site to keep track of the contents of your shopping cart once you have selected an item, to store delivery addresses if the address book is used, and to store your details if you select the 'Remember Me' Option. Cookies make the interaction between users and web sites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be very difficult for a web site to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping basket or to remember the user's preferences or registration details for a future visit. The Abaris International Ltd website uses cookies to allow customers to move from one part of the web site to another and to add items to the shopping basket without having to login repeatedly. You can however, set your computer to reject cookies (instructions about how to do this are contained at www.aboutcookies.org) but you should be aware that the Abaris International Ltd website will not work without cookies.
