Introduction
Lacy West Supplies Ltd.
is committed to protecting your privacy and providing you with a secure
online shopping experience. This statement discloses our information practices,
including what type of information is gathered and tracked, and how the
information is used.
Information
You can visit our website
and browse all our webpages without telling us who you are and without
revealing any information about yourself. Personal information is only
required when you process an order for the contents of your shopping cart
with our secure on-line Shopping Cart.
Credit
Cards
We process Credit Card
payments on the credit card terminal in our store. We do not use a third
party to process your credit card order on-line.
Security
Lacy West Supplies Ltd.
takes every precaution to protect our clients' information. When clients
submit, the information is protected both online and off-line.
When you submit an
order
via our secure Shopping Cart, your sensitive information (such as a credit
card number) is protected with the best encryption software in the industry,
SSL. While on a secure page, the lock icon at the bottom of Web browsers
such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked,
as opposed to unlocked or open when you are just browsing. SSL will be
enabled shortly.
Clients using browsers
that cannot handle the 128-bit encryption of SSL, may submit orders with
our Shopping Cart by using the Unsecure Order process.
While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything
in our power to protect client information off-line. All of our clients'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our office. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (e.g.. for billing or customer service) are granted access to personally
identifiable credit card information.
Credit
Card Warehousing
Lacy West Supplies Ltd.
has taken a strict stand against credit card warehousing, the practice
of storing credit card numbers on Internet servers. Our Shopping Cart was
obtained with this in mind, storing the credit card number on the server
only during the order process. The credit card number is extracted from
the World Wide Web server database, encrypted, then stored behind a firewall
on a NON-public network for record keeping purposes.
Log
Files
We sometimes collect
anonymous information from visits to our website to help us provide better
customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which
people visit and measure visitor activity (such as webpages viewed), and
do so in ways that keeps the information anonymous.
Cookies
We use cookies only
to enhance your shopping experience. A cookie anonymously identifies you
as a unique visitor to our website when you add items in the Shopping Cart.
No personal information is required to work with the contents of your Shopping
Cart until you are ready to process an order. The cookie simply ensures
all modifications to the contents of your Shopping Cart are done correctly.
Also, the cookie permits you to sign off the internet and return to our
website within 24 hours to continue working with the Shopping Cart contents.

Lacy West Supplies Ltd.
does not share nor sell your personal information to any organization or
individual. Your information is used only by Lacy West to service you as
a valuable client.

links to other websites. Please be aware that we cannot be responsible
for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our clients to be

Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected at www.lacywest.com.

West Supplies Ltd. will send an email to all our internet clients. Every
letter that is sent via email will include a link and instructions for
unsubscribing from any email list.
