end users of Costume Cauldron's internet services
(the "Services") — those who access
some of our Services but do not make a purchase ("Visitors")

the collection and use of such information. Costume

Introduction
Costume
Cauldron collects information in different ways from
Visitors and Customers who access the various parts
of our Services. We use this information primarily
to provide a customized experience as you use our
Services and, generally, do not share this information
with third parties. However, we may disclose personal
information collected if we have received your permission
beforehand or in very special circumstances, such
as when we believe that such disclosure is required
by law or other special cases described below.
Data
Security
The
information you provide—including credit card
information—is secured using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) encryption technology. We use this SSL
technology provided by Verisign
to prevent such information from being intercepted
and read as it is transmitted over the Internet. The
encrypted data goes to a secure site where your information
is stored on restricted-access computers located at
restricted-access sites. While we make every effort
to ensure the integrity and security of our network
and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security
measures will prevent third-party "hackers"
from illegally obtaining this information.
As an added measure we use "HackerSafe".
to protect us against these attacks. Using Moneris
Solutions as an online payment gateway we can
safely and easily accept Visa and Mastercard payments.
Moneris Solutions® is Canada’s largest payment
processor and the 6th largest in North America.
