• We will not sell your information to any mailing lists. Other companies usually choose to sell your information for up to five cents a pop. We don’t think selling your name to a company that will send you unwanted e-mail or junk mail is worth a nickel. We promise to never sell or give away any of your personal information.
• We will not mail you unwanted information. When you order from us you can control what information is sent to you. You decide if you want an order confirmation, shipping confirmation, or customer survey. Whether you choose to receive emails from us does not matter in terms of how we will serve you. We will still work hard to process your order quickly and accurately. Keeping you satisfied is our top priority.
• We will not give out your e-mail address. We don’t have a mailing list and we will never start one. Tactics like spam (unsolicited e-mail) do not align with our vision of privacy.
• We will keep credit card information safe by maintaining the most secure online transaction process possible. We use the Strong-arm secure server, the best server available. It supports industry-standard 128-bit SSL encryption. We trust our transactions to it.
• We will maintain security of our systems and information. We maintain the latest anti-virus software, and use secure passwords on all systems. Your credit card information is stored in encrypted format at every stage of processing and is stored behind two layers of password protection. Your information is safe with us.

• Your Billing Address.Your billing address is used to verify that the person placing the order is the person who owns the credit card. This process is performed by an address verification system, which uses the numeric value of your street address and your postal code. These two numbers are entered into the system and verified against the address where you credit card bill is sent.
  • • For example: If Jane MacDonald who lives at 18 Anyplace Lane in Toronto, ON T0R 0N0 placed an order, the system would verify the digits (18 and T0R 0N0) and tell us that the address verifies. The term billing address refers only to where your monthly credit card bill is sent. Violet’s Closet does not send anything to your billing address, unless you ask us to.
• Your Shipping Address. Your order will arrive at this address.
• Your Email Address.Your email address is used to send order-related emails, should you choose to receive them.
  • • We can email you a copy of your order.
    • We can email you a shipping confirmation and a coupon code for a discount on your next order. You will also receive notices of upcoming sales and discounts.
    • You can choose to participate in a customer service survey, if you would like to.
• Your Phone Number. We do not use your phone number unless Express Mail is selected, in which case the postal service requests that it be provided.
• Your Credit Card Information. We only use your credit card information to process your transaction. Your card is charge only after the order is shipped.

  Legal Issues

  Occasionally, a transaction is involved in a legal dispute (usually credit card fraud). If information is requested from us in the form of a subpoena (a legal demand for information or appearance), we are required to provide it. If this occurs, our policy is to first contact our customer to inform them of our legal obligations. This is not a common issue, and generally affects only people who are committing credit card fraud.
