Safeguarding the Information We Collect

When you complete a transaction at Aerosoles.com, we use Transfer Layer Security (TLS), which is authenticated by GeoTrust, an independent agency, to encrypt your credit card information, before it travels over the Internet to our secure servers. TLS technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions.

Certain browsers will not allow communication through secure servers. If this is the case, you won't be able to place an order online. If you have any problems placing an order online contact us as detailed above.

Within Aerosoles, we have appropriate security measures in place to protect against unauthorized disclosures of your personal information. We limit the information we provide to outside companies to only the information we believe is appropriate to enable them to carry out their responsibilities.

Please understand, however, that no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you understand that any information that you transfer to us is done at your own risk. If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Site or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Site. We may post a notice via our Site if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

The “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) privacy preference is an option that may be made in some web browsers allowing you to opt-out of tracking by websites and online services. At this time, global standard DNT technology is not yet finalized and not all browsers support DNT. We therefore do not recognize DNT signals and do not respond to them.
