Privacy policy
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.
ABOUT PERSONAL INFORMATION
SMC Merch fully recognizes the importance of your privacy and keeps your personal information confidential. Unless you directly permit us to do otherwise, SMC Merch will not sell, share, or trade any of our customer’s personal information to unrelated third parties. Your personal information will be used within our company for internal use only, and this information is used to assist us in communicating with our customers about products, promotions, or any other activities.
SERVER
We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with exclusive access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential.
After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.
