Your first concern should be "Who Are
We?". For the full story, check out "About Us"
above. This La Crosse Technology Shop is owned and operated by
Partshelf.com Inc. Partshelf.com owns and operates seven online
stores, with over 35,000 orders filled, and high
ratings from our customers. We've been in business since 1998, and
have never had a security issue with customer data.
When you place an order with
our La Crosse Technology Store, there are three major entities
involved.
This store is hosted by YaHoo Shopping. They
are among the best, if not the best in the business. You enter your
order by filling out pages sent down by YaHoo. All personal data is
encrypted (scrambled by a mathematical formula) by a program running in
your computer before it is sent over the internet. Only YaHoo has
the formula to de-scramble it. Anybody on the internet trying to
monitor your data will not have the key to de-scramble your data, so all
they will see is scrambled data. There is virtually no risk
transmitting the data. This is far safer than giving out your charge
card number over the phone, and safer than handing your card to a stranger
or having card imprints left behind. Once YaHoo receives the data,
they make data available to our charge card merchant service, West Coast
Merchant Services,
and to us here at Partshelf.com Inc, the owner of this store.
West Coast Merchant Services is a very large charge card merchant
service. They service both online merchants and stores. Their
process is the same for online stores and physical stores, they are
equally secure.
YaHoo makes the data you enter available to us here
at Partshelf.com Inc. over a secure encrypted and password protected data
link. We do not download your charge card data to our network.
We don't need it, as we let West Coast Merchant Services handle those matters.
Financial data security is not an issue here. We do keep records of
the transaction, with the customers name, address and phone number, for
shipping and warranty purposes. This data is kept only on machines
that are behind firewalls, they are invisible to the outside world.
For details about what we do with your name and address, please see the Partshelf.com
Privacy Policy for details, but rest assured, we don't sell it, share
it, or give it to anybody.
