Privacy Policy

Here are Uncle Vic's privacy policy and information security details.

Information Collection:

UncleVic.com is the sole owner of information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to any outside parties, except as outlined in this policy. We collect information from our customers to process orders and better serve you with pertinent information, such as order confirmations and order status updates. Information collected includes your name, shipping address, billing address, telephone numbers, e-mail address, and payment information such as your credit card number. We also require you to submit a username and password of your choice for your future access to your account information. To safeguard that your user name and password remain confidential, DO NOT share this information with anyone. If you elect to receive our newsletter or special promotions, your contact information will be used for the delivery of these items.

Registration:

In order to process your orders placed on this website, you must first complete the registration form. During registration, you will be required to provide your contact information, which includes your name, e-mail address, telephone number and street address. This information is used to provide you with important UncleVic.com services such as automated order status updates via e-mail.

Order:

Most of the information collected in the registration process will be used to process orders. During the order process, you will have to provide financial information such as your credit card number, expiration date, or other payment information. This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill your order. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this contact information to get in touch with you. To properly process your credit card information, we must share your personal and financial information with the merchant bank for authorization and approval. This process is protected by an enhanced security system. See the Security section below for more details on security measures and procedures. We do not share your personal and financial information with any third parties, except those specified in the Sharing section of this policy.

Security:

UncleVic.com is serious about security and takes precautions to protect its customers' information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

When our registration and/or order form asks you to enter sensitive information (such as your credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software currently available in the industry - Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a Web site and encrypts information that is sent to the server using SSL technology. SSL certificates-built around stringent, industry-leading authentication measures-allow Web site owners to secure all online transactions with up to 256-bit encryption. An SSL certificate on a Web site ensures that sensitive data is safe from prying eyes.

UncleVic.com uses the most advanced form of SSL software available: standard 128-bit encryption and high grade 256-bit encryption via certificates provided by Go Daddy, who provides SSL certificates for numerous well-regarded high profile online stores. For more information on GoDaddy SSL certificates, go to: http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp?ci=8979.

UncleVic.com has a sophisticated payment gateway powered by Trust Commerce, a leader in online secure payment technology. All communication (between servers, payment gateway, the acquiring bank, and the issuing bank) are encrypted end-to-end with 1024-bit RSA public/private keypairs assuring server authenticity and invulnerability to attacks.

All UncleVic.com servers, including web servers and database servers, are housed and maintained in secure locations. Access to the database is strictly monitored and protected from outside access. Internet access is restricted and protected by multiple firewalls and password protection. The servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a very tightly secured environment, inside a locked room. All backups are stored and locked in a high-level security room. Only personnel with proper security clearance have access to these restricted areas. Tape backups are not permitted to leave the premises without prior authorization.

Security cameras are positioned throughout the building in conjunction with multiple alarm systems. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. If you wish to have your financial information removed at the time of your order, you may opt to have your financial information deleted from our records upon completion of your order. Otherwise, you may contact us at privacy@UncleVic.com or call toll free 1-888-3-UncleVic to request that your information be deleted from our database. For future transactions, you will be required to re-enter your information.
