Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users? information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and expiration date), that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software – SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the locked icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ?surfing?.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users? information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted to key individuals. Only Alba Game Fishing administrators who need the information to process online purchases are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a highly secure environment. The data center is monitored for all aspects of operational security, and environmental conditions. It is equipped with state-of- the-art security and environmental monitoring systems. These systems include:
- Card readers
- PINs
- Biometrics
- Multiple sensors for intrusion detection
Additional sensors detect variations in temperature and humidity, as well as smoke and other changes in critical system environments.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email at info@albagamefishing.com
Amendments to Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
