Privacy & Security

Information Collected on Our Website

• We collect your personal information (name, mailing address, email address and payment method) only when you give it to us.

• We use cookies to make navigating our site faster for you, and to ensure what you see on the site is relevant to your interests, a practice duplicated by the majority of all commerce sites on the Internet; any payment information you provide (such as a credit card number) will never be stored in this cookie.

• We do not share your email address, telephone number or any personal information with any other companies or organizations.

We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows '95 or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink).

How We Use this Information
We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products to respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you other that we believe may be of interest to you.

We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as for customer service questions or when we fulfill a request by you for online promotional emails.

We will disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities in asking the site for access to personally identifiable information about themselves for purposes of correcting possible factual errors in the data.

If you prefer not to receive marketing information from this site, please send us an e-mail, along with your first and last name, to customerservice@minicraftmodels.com.

When you order products from us or request a catalog, we place you in our customer file. Minicraft Model Kits will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.

Collection of Information "Cookies"
To enhance your experience with our sites, many of our web pages use "cookies". Cookies are text files we place in your computer's browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at one of our sites. However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. Your credit card number is never stored within these files.

We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and offerings on our sites. For example, we may use cookies to personalize your experience at our web pages (e.g. to recognize you by name when you return to our site), save your password in password-protected areas, and enable you to use shopping carts on our site. If you choose not to accept cookies, you can still order from Minicraft Models Kits via mail.

Email Addresses and Telephone Numbers
Minicraft Model Kits does not share any email addresses you provide to any other companies or organizations. If you choose to receive our promotional emails, we always extend you the option to 'opt-out' from future mailings.

Any telephone numbers you provide will be used only for customer service questions, such as incorrectly entered credit card information. This number is not shared with any other companies.

Security When Ordering Online
Minicraft Model Kits uses PayPal to process all orders. In this way, all sensitive information you provide during the checkout process (including credit card and addresses information) is encrypted while traveling the Internet.
