DATA SECURITY
​
HCCE Ltd. uses Secure E-Commerce software which employs industrial strength encryption and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure that your order data is secure and that HCCE’s order data on the internet service provider’s server is secure. If your browser does not support SSL or if you don’t want to send your credit card information via the web, just call us at 905-896-2396 or toll free 1-800-268-5661 to complete your order. To complete your order, we will need your name, billing address, credit card information, shipping address, phone number and the exact names of the items you are purchasing. See below under the heading, “Confidentiality Warning.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent the use of encryption, the internet is not a secure medium and privacy cannot be ensured. Internet e-mail is vulnerable to interception and forging. HCCE Ltd. will not be responsible for any damages you or any third party may suffer as a result of the transmission of confidential information that you make to HCCE Ltd. through the internet, or that you expressly or implicitly authorize HCCE Ltd. to make, or for any errors or any changes made to any transmitted information.
DATA COLLECTION AND USE
​
When you order, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number and credit card expiration date. Your credit card number and credit card expiration date information is not necessary for purchase orders. Please note that for purchase orders, your order will not be processed until you contact us at 905-896-2396 or toll-free at 1-800-268-5661 to confirm method of payment. This information enables us to proceed and fill your order and to notify you of your order status. If you participate in a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. We know e-mail addresses and other personally identifying data about visitors to this site only when voluntarily submitted or posted to us.

We use contact data from our surveys to send you information and to reach you if necessary. You can opt out of receiving future mailings from us.

Only HCCE Ltd. (or people working on behalf of HCCE Ltd.) will send you these communications.
