Privacy Policy Overview
MSC are strongly committed to protecting the privacy of our website users and customers. We have written this privacy policy to outline the specific information we collect, how we use this information, and what options you have in sharing this information with us when you visit our site. Protecting your privacy is a significant part of our commitment to providing you with a high quality shopping experience.
Information Collection and Use
We are the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will never sell, share, or rent this information to others... Ever! MSC collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Orders
For a user who places an order, we request personal information on the order form used in the shopping cart. Contact (name, address, email, etc.) and payment information (credit card number and expiration date) are requested. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill the customer's order. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact the customer. Credit card transactions are processed off-line using our own merchant account.
Cookies
This website may use “cookies”. Cookies tell us which parts of our site people have visited so that we can improve our content and services. They also enable you to retrieve products saved in your shopping cart without having to select all of them again. However, these cookies will eventually expire if there is no activity in your cart, e.g. view, add to, etc., for a number of days.
This website's cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information, and therefore to optimise your viewing experience we recommend that you allow their use. You may disable cookies in the options settings of your internet browser if you prefer (please check with your provider if you are uncertain how to do this), and you may still use our site, but you will experience limited functionality in some areas of our site. For example, you will not be able to process an order through our shopping checkout area.
Sharing
We use third party shipping companies, e.g. mail, UPS, etc. to ship orders, and a third party credit card payment processing system to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that MSC is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by MSC.
Newsletter/Bulletin
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter and/or update bulletin, we ask for the user's email address. Please see our choice and opt-
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number and/or contact information), that information is encrypted and is protected with 128 bit encryption software over an SSL connection. While on a secure page, such as our shopping cart checkout forms, the padlock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer is displayed as locked.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
Your Feedback
At MSC your privacy is extremely important. If you have any questions about the privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with us, please contact us and let us know. Thank you.
