Your Privacy

Gwaciebeads by Bethany Adams is committed to protecting your privacy. That means we won't sell, trade or rent any of your personal information to anyone else, no matter how much they beg, whine or wheedle, not even for chocolate! All information you provide is used only to process your orders or to provide you with requested information.

And just so you know, this is how we use the collected information:

• To process your order and to contact you about your order, we ask for your name, email and mailing addresses, phone number, credit card number and expiration date.
• When you ask to be added to our email list, of course we need your email address. Your email address will only be used by Gwaciebeads.com to notify you of anything new and exciting happening around here. You can ask to be removed from our email list at any time.
• We also collect a little statistical information that helps us understand our customer's use of Gwaciebeads.com.com and make improvements. This information includes things like which browser you use and which pages you visited on our site, nothing of a personal information nature about you.

To order you must be at least 18 years of age please.

Security

Gwaciebeads.com is alert to the many security issues that face internet customers every day and remains committed to providing safe and secure transactions that take place through gwaciebeads.com.

• To secure the information we collect online and prevent unauthorized access, our shopping cart server (Mal's e-commerce) uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
• This encryption takes your credit card number and transforms it into a string of unrecognizable number patterns before entering the Internet. Both the Mal's e-commerce computers and your web browser understand the algorithms that turn your order information into numeric code and back into meaningful information, but this process would be an almost unattainable task for unauthorized intruders.
• This is because out of billions of possible keys that could solve each formula, only one will actually work. This key is determined randomly between your computer and Mal's e-commerce systems every time you begin a transaction on gwaciebeads.com.

It's a pretty tough system to crack, but, like anything else online, it's not quite impossible. If you prefer, you can use our online shopping cart and choose the option to Order by Credit Card, Check/Money Order through Postal Mail, or telephone your order in to us. Remember, though, that if you ever hand your credit card to someone at a restaurant and let them take it out of your sight, you run a much higher chance of experiencing credit card fraud than with a secure Internet connection. With our commitment to security, shopping on Gwaciebeads.com is safe and secure. So, if your website browser supports SSL technology, shop securely knowing that your personal information is safe.
