Privacy Policy and Security Information

We know that some of you are concerned with the security of online shopping and your privacy. So are we. That's why we have done everything to make shopping online at Echo Records Direct safe and secure. Please read on for more details.

Online Shopping and Security

Online shopping is more secure than any other form of shopping where credit cards are used. Here's why:

* When we ask for your credit card number, the connection between your computer and our Web site becomes secure.

* Your credit card information is never made visible to anyone, including us.

Secure connections means that, when enabled (usually, just before you enter your credit card or other payment information) data sent to and from our Web server is encrypted. A credit card number such as "4111-1111-1111-1111 | 08-04" would be sent as "K9-Lkp[s0pla08-Iji&0kKPa98655ajks8(akjals8a0s" or something similar.

Even after your encrypted credit card information is received by our Web server, we don't see it. It is passed directly to a credit-card clearing house (we use the Verisign service) where it is scrutinized then authorized by machine to protect You from fraud. The credit-card clearing house then sends us an acknowledgment of the transaction (and only the last four digits of the card for tracking purposes) so we can process your order.

Verisign operates under its own strict privacy and securty policies, which can be further evaluated at: www.verisign.com.

Privacy

Occasionally we make addresses available to other marketers. We never share phone numbers or other data.

Cookies

There is a technology called "cookies" which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is a tiny bit of data that a Web site can send to your browser, to anonymously identify your browser to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide to accept it.

We may use cookies to make your shopping experience easier. For example, it can be used to tell our system to pre-load your shipping address or Email name (if you have entered it on a previous visit) so you need not re-type all of this information. For security reasons, we do not use it to store any payment information.

Cookies, by themselves, cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. You can be assured of complete anonymity. Unless you specifically tell us, we will never know who you are, even though we may assign the browser on your computer a cookie. You may choose not to accept the cookie that is passed to your computer, although any customized service we provide may not be available.

Email Communications

Email addresses are required so that we may respond to your requests. We do not rent, sell or otherwise transfer your Email addresses to third parties for unsolicited Email communications.

What data is collected?

Your privacy is carefully guarded at Echo Records Direct. While we must retain your name, address, Email address and other information to process your orders, we do not share this information with others. We also keep track of the products you purchase, but we do not aggregate this information.

Still have questions?

If you have more questions regarding the privacy of your information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
