If you wish to receive our email newsletter or become a Registered Member, we will also ask you for your date of birth and postal code.  Certain information that we may request from you is optional.  For example, you do not need to provide us with your date of birth but if you choose to do so it will enable us to notify you of special promotions and offers on or around your birthday. When you decide to make a purchase online, we will collect a billing/mailing address, and the purchase will be included with your information. We will also collect credit card information from you when you pay for the purchase

EntripyShops does not and will not transfer, sell or rent your personal information to any unrelated third party other than in accordance with this privacy policy. In the event that EntripyShops is sold or merges with another company, we may disclose your personal information to the purchaser or the new company formed from the merger.  If we are required by law to disclose or provide access to your personal information, we will do so but only where we are satisfied that such disclosure is required by law.

When you make a purchase online through our Site, we will not retain your credit card information after the purchase has been authorized by the appropriate financial institution. EntripyShops does retain the authorization number provided at the time of authorization in order to deal with credit which might be requested in the event that the purchased item is returned.

EntripyShops protects your personal information

Your personal information will be kept confidential.  It is stored and processed on computers located in Canada.  We use the most stringent procedural and technical safeguards available to protect your information against loss or theft as well as against unauthorized access or disclosure in order to protect your privacy.  These protections include firewalls and encryption. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us. SSL is the industry standard for secure commerce transactions. It prevents your personal information from being read by someone else as it travels across the Internet. All of your personal information is encrypted, including credit card number, name and address.

While EntripyShops uses reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit using the Site. Please keep this in mind when providing information through the Site.

Phishing

 “Phishing” is a scam that is employed to steal your personal information.  If you receive an unsolicited e-mail from us asking for personal information, do not respond.  We will not request your user name, password or personal financial information through e-mail

Cookies

 A “cookie” is a small data file transferred to your computer’s hard drive that allows a Web site to respond to you as an individual, gathering and remembering information about your preferences in order to tailor its operation to your needs, likes and dislikes. Cookies also enable an electronic retailer like Yourschoolgear.ca to keep track of a customer’s electronic “shopping bag” before completing a purchase. When your computer accepts a cookie it does not provide us with access to your computer or any personal information about you other than the information you choose to provide to us.

Most browsers will allow you to remove cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. However, if you block or turn off cookies, certain features might not be available to you and our ability to personalize your experience would be limited.

A special note about children

This Site is not targeted to or intended for use by children.  Children under the age of 14 years are not eligible to use this Site unsupervised.  We ask that children not provide any personal information without the knowledge and permission of parents or guardians.  If we learn that a child under the age of 14 years has provided personal information, we will not use any of that personal information without the consent of parents or guardians.
