You only have to enter your billing address or shipping addresses once when you open an account or create an order, which will then be securely stored in our database for your future use. Please note that we strongly encourage you to LOG OUT at the conclusion of your session for your protection, especially when you are using a public computer. This will prevent someone else from accessing your personal information from that computer.

Children
Our web shops are general audience sites, and Taiga Marketing has no intention of collecting or maintaining any personal information from those we actually know are under 13. No parts of our web shops are targeted to anyone under 13. Taiga Marketing urges all parents to supervise their children while they are using the Internet, and use web filtering technology to control children’s access to the web.

Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as necessary to permit us to use it for the purposes that we have communicated to you and comply with applicable law or regulations.

Security
Your personal information is maintained with high standards of information security. The information is stored on servers with firewall protection, and Secure Socket Layering (“SSL”) transmission is used to encrypt the sensitive information you entered during your order. SSL is encryption technology that provides security while information is being transmitted over the Internet.All of our web shops are designed to accept orders only from Web browsers that permit communication through SSL technology, such as 4.0 versions or higher of Netscape Navigator, versions 5.01 or higher of Internet Explorer, versions 0.8 or higher of Firefox and versions 1.2 or higher of Safari.

We also take physical and administrative steps to handle the security of your personal information, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers. Please note that the messages sent through e-mail and the “Contact Us” tab of our web shops are not encrypted. Thus, we do not encourage our customer to send credit card information through such means.

To abolish the risk of credit card information being compromised, Taiga Marketing chooses not to retain your credit card data on our servers for the web shops. Taiga Marketing does NOT save your credit card information. The credit card data you entered during shopping will be sent directly to the payment processor for that particular transaction. Everytime you return to shop, you will have to enter the credit card information. However, Taiga Marketing feels it is a small inconvenience to endure for assured security.

While we implement the above security measures on this site, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.

We may revise it from time to time. However, we will not retroactively change how we share your information with your consent first.
