KayakProShop.com stores the following information in cookies: randomly assigned user identification numbers, your e-mail address and your nickname. This information cannot be accessed by other websites. These cookies enable us to identify you while shopping at KayakProShop.com and allow us to maintain your shopping barge (which is only stored on our servers.) Even though we can identify you from a cookie, we still require a password when checking out to ensure that you have authorized a purchase using your information stored on our servers.

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track your movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing

We utilize multiple, independent warehouses to fulfill orders, outside shipping companies to ship orders and a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Links

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that KayakProShop.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to be aware that when you leave our site you should read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Security

KayakProShop.com is committed to preserving the protection of your privacy and personal information.

When our registration/order form asks you to enter sensitive information, such as credit card number and/or billing address, that information is encrypted and protected with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption software. While on a secure page, such as our order form, most browsers will display a lock or key icon on the status bar at the bottom indicating that the page is secure. Also, in the address window "http" changes to "https" on secure pages.

We maintain all of our servers behind a firewall. Firewalls help protect the information stored on servers from unauthorized computers.

Credit card information is encrypted before being stored on our servers. You will be asked to provide credit card information any time you create a new password.

It is important for you to protect unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Please make sure that you logout or close your browser after shopping at KayakProShop.com. If you are an AOL user, please close AOL.

In addition to our use of SSL encryption and firewalls to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All user information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. As new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure your information is protected. Finally, the servers we use for storing personal information are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security at our website, please e-mail us at webmaster@KayakProShop.com.
