OBC Northwest's Statement on Security Technology

All transactions are completed on our secure server. In secure mode, your computer and our server begin communicating, sending data back and forth in an encrypted format. The encryption features of most browser software are exceptionally powerful and ensure the security of this data as it is transmitted to our server.

A browser in secure mode will display a URL address beginning "https://" rather than the standard "http://". The "s" stands for "secure." In Netscape NavigatorTM (versions 3.0 and earlier), the broken key symbol in the lower left corner of your browser window will become a solid key in secure mode. If you're using Netscape Communicator 4.0TM or higher, look for the padlock in the same space: it's open in standard mode and closed in secure mode. In Microsoft Internet ExplorerTM, you'll see a padlock symbol at the bottom of your browser window when the browser is in secure mode.

OBC Northwest's Statement on Privacy

Your privacy is a very sensitive subject for us and we take it very seriously. So our privacy policy is simple, we don't sell, barter, give away or rent your personal information to any company outside of OBC Northwest. We do have partners that assist us with fulfillment and shipping in certain categories, and in those cases those partners receive a name and shipping address so that they can process and ship orders properly.

What type of information is kept?

We only retain information necessary for fulfilling an order. That information includes the following:

    1) Your name
    2) Your credit card number
    3) Credit card expiration date
    4) The billing address of the credit card (for security purposes)
    5) A shipping address (if different from billing address)
    6) Your phone number so that we can contact with any questions concerning your order.

We never request sensitive information

OBC Northwest does not request sensitive information such as a social security number, a Personal Identification Number (PIN) from a bank or credit card, or a driver's license number.
