For Kathy Ann's
Cottage, the internet has given us opportunities we never could
have imagined. Creative suggestions are coming in from customers
all over the world. The families we have met, the collaborations
that have resulted, are priceless. As frequent online shoppers
ourselves, we would like to offer the following suggestions to
keep your online shopping experience as safe and rewarding as ours
have been.
1. The recent security lapses in the news have been a result of
companies gathering personal
information for profit without your permission. Kathy Ann's
Cottage will not sell personal information or data to any
organization. We do not store credit card information. Our credit
card processing company does not save your data. We do not
participate on mailing lists. We don't keep a mailing list of our
past customers. You will not be contacted and your data will not
be stored anywhere as a result of doing business with us.
2. Buy from merchants who can offer a variety of payment options
such as checks, money orders and credit cards. Don't use your
credit card unless the merchant is affiliated with reputable
secure processing companies. It is possible to route your
transaction through a secure service without us ever having to see
your credit card numbers. We have made that investment and are
proud to offer at no extra charge to you:
