| Security & Privacy Are my transactions secure?
We are committed to your online security and privacy. For this reason we have partnered with Authorize.net, Inc., the world's leading provider of Internet payment services and electronic payment software. Authorize.net delivers the world's most widely used online secure payment service available today. Their secure servers process millions of transactions per month. When you are ready to purchase from our Cody Mercantile site, you will be connected via a secure, encrypted channel. Your information is encrypted using the latest 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer encryption technology and sent to a secure transaction server.
How do you use my credit card information?
Your credit card information is encrypted and stored on a secure portion of our web site that has restricted access. You can access it for use on future orders via your customer password after you have registered as a customer. The only time credit card information is processed over the Internet is through Authorize.net's secure servers.
How do passwords work?
We have put in place appropriate procedures to safeguard the information you share with us on-line. Passwords are a convenient method of preventing unauthorized access and also ensure the correct use of information,and maintaining accurate data. By using a password on your account, you create a second level of security for your personal information. Your password is your secure entry into information that you share with Cody Mercantile. After registering as a customer, it saves you the time and effort of re-entering your name, address, phone, credit card information, etc. each time you place an order. By this number we can identify you immediately and speed your shopping process.
What about my privacy?
Your privacy is our responsibility. We don't share your online information with anyone, and have no intention of bothering or inconveniencing you. In fact, we won't even e-mail you (except for purchase confirmations), unless we have your permission first. We keep confidential any online information entered during ordering and registration. Credit card information, phone numbers and e-mail addresses are strictly confidential. While our Web site automatically recognizes your Internet service provider and does have the ability to use cookies, it does not recognize your e-mail address or you as an individual. We do not collect the e-mail address, unless you volunteer that information. For those of you who choose to communicate with us via e-mail, we will collect those addresses, but they are for correspondence only and are not shared with outside parties. We are also careful about information that you share with us about other people. For example, to request a catalog for a friend, or to send a gift, we need some necessary contact information such as their name, address, and phone number. We use this information only to ship the catalog or product and confirm delivery. This information is not shared with outside parties except where necessary to complete the order. On occasion we share our customer name & address list (never e-mail addresses or any other personal information) with carefully screened companies whose products might be of interest to you. If you prefer not to receive such mailings, please copy your mailing label exactly and contact us:
