Because
we value you, and you value your privacy and security, we take our privacy and security
policy very seriously. We will never sell your email address, physical address or
telephone number to any third party. Any transaction you conduct with us over the web is
securely encrypted using 128-bit SSL high-strength encryption.
You can verify this by clicking on the padlock icon at the foot of your browser when
viewing an encrypted page. The encrytion is effectively uncrackable using current
technology. At no time do we transmit information about you, including your credit card
number, unencrypted over the Internet.
We want you to have the best relationship with us that is
possible. To assist us in this endeavour, we employ "cookies". Our cookies are
random numbers between zero and a few thousand billion billion billion billion that our
computer generates, and asks your computer to store. They only take up a few bytes of your
hard disk. Next time you visit us, our computer can recognise you from this number, and
show you such information as your shopping basket or order history. If you share your
computer with other people, you should ensure that you have configured it correctly, so
that each user that logs on has a different password. However, in case you haven't, we
don't accept orders on your credit card on the basis of a cookie alone. Our cookies are
not a threat to the security of your credit card. The US Energy Department's Computer
Incident Advisory Capability recently issued a bulletin
advising that cookies are broadly not a security risk.
Some people are
concerned that cookies could be a threat to their personal privacy. Cookies can be used to
track site visitors from one site to another around the web, and are not necessarily
anonymous. You, your home telephone number and your address can potentially be linked to
your on-line browsing habits. However, BeansOnToast does not employ this technique, nor
will we ever sell or share any information about you with anyone else.
Where we do not manufacture the product you have ordered
ourselves, we may occasionally pass your address to one of our reputable suppliers. This
allows us to get your order delivered more quickly and at less expense. If you do not want
this to happen, just let us know, and we'll send
the item to you ourselves.
For the protection of minors, we have taken care to ensure
that we do not breach traditional British standards of decency. Our site is rated at RSACi as having no adult content, but there may be
occasional use of slang English.
Under the UK Data Protection Acts,
you have a right to obtain copies of any information we may hold about you, and to have it
corrected if you believe it is wrong. However, we only hold the information about you that
is necessary to conduct our business with you in a professional manner. Contact us for more information. |
