Privacy Policy WatchCases.com:
Our basic philosophy - We will not use any of your personal contact information for any reason besides the processing of your order and communication with you about your order. More important than our promise is your level of trust in us. Since a promise is only as good as the people behind it.
Why should you trust us?
1.) We are approved to accept all major credit cards.
2.) We are hosted by Yahoo! (They have stringent guidelines for customer service and their rating system leaves no place to hide!) We are a 5 star rated Yahoo! Store. With 95% Good or Excellent Ratings. See our ratings page we don't even attempt to hide our 1 awful rating.
3.) We are listed in the Exclusive and Expensive "McAfee Secure" program for "Hacker Safe Sites". They validate daily that no hacker has inserted bad code into our website to steal your information. (A growing concern! Links to information on stopping adware.)
4.) We have spent a considerable amount of money developing an easy to use yet solid online store. Our store was not put together with a free service and we did not even use Yahoo! We created a 100% unique interface.
5.) Finally, our store speaks for itself, we give solid advice and attempt to educate our consumer, not just make a sale. Simply put: We will not abuse your privacy! We use your information only to process, ship and verify your order and to keep in contact with you about your order. We may contact you in the future about specials we think you may be interested, but a simple request for us to stop and we will not contact you in the future.
We do not like unsolicited telemarketing, email marketing, spam or junk mail. We will list for you below how we use information about you however, there is no fine print just details.
(I am personally listed with the National Do Not Call Registry found at www.donotcall.gov and I encourage all consumers to use it. I have not yet started an email newsletter simply because of my objections with regard to privacy issues. If we ever do a newsletter it will be opt in and we will cancel it upon request, no games. Our prices are slightly more than many Internet companies because we do not sell information for additional revenue! Wal-Mart is the only company that can sell things at 15% over cost and stay in business! You have my personal promise not to abuse your privacy. Donald Geib, President WatchCases.com
