HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION: We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND WHY WE COLLECT IT: If you choose to supply us with your personal information, we will use that information only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Please note that certain personal information must be supplied to place an order. You may also be required to provide certain additional information when signing up for an account. This information may include your name, address, phone number, email address, credit card number and expiration date, card verification number, etc.; however, this information will never include your social security number. We use this information to process and complete your order and provide service to you.

If you receive an email requesting any of this information, it is likely that you have received an attempted theft of your identity commonly called “phishing.” Likewise, if you receive an email urging you to log in to your account, and providing you with a link to the login page, it is also likely that you have received a “phishing” email. In either case, you should bring the email to our attention by forwarding the email to rodney@bitcoinrodney.com
