Overview

 

Kaori TEA does not rent, trade, loan, or sell your personal information, or any other information that may identify you, to third parties.  We are committed to protecting your privacy.  The information we collect is used to process your order and to enhance your shopping experience.  We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage in order to help us refine the store to serve you better.

 

Your Personal Information

 

Your name, email address, address, and phone number that you provide us when you place an order online are only used for order processing and status update.  Your personal and credit card information will be kept private under strict obligation.

We may use your Internet Protocol (IP) address and ISP name to help us diagnose problems with our server, and administer our web site.  Your IP address may also be used to gather broad demographic information, as well as identify customer traffic patterns and site usage.  This information aids us in refining the store and serving you better.

 

Secure Shopping

 

Orders placed on KaoriTEA.com are encrypted using SSL technology, the industry standard for secure commerce transactions to transmit your credit card information over the Internet so you can rest assured that your transactions are protected.  With SSL implemented on both the client and server, information sent via the Internet can be trusted to arrive privately and unaltered to our server.  In order for SSL security to work, you must use an SSL enabled browser.  Most browsers, version 3.x and later, support SSL.  Before submitting, please be sure that a pad lock SSL certificate symbol appears on your screen.  It is usually located beside the web address above or the status bar below.  Please stop proceeding if you do not see this symbol, and contact us for assistance.
