Secure Online Shopping

Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is to inform you of the information and practices of A1 Self Defense Products to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy.

We request information from the customer on our order form when making a purchase. Here, is where a customer must provide their contact information: name, shipping address, shipping information, credit card number and expiration date, and e-mail address. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill the customer's order. If we have difficulty processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the customer. We do not give away, sell, or rent your personal information including your email address and phone to anyone. PERIOD.

We always use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site.

We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.

SSL Encryption Security

A1 Self Defense Products takes every precaution to protect our customers' information. When customers submit sensitive information via our Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - Secure Socket Layers (SSLs). While on a secure page, such as our order form, a lock icon appears on the bottom of your Web browser. When you are not on a secure page, no lock icon will appear.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information (like your credit card information) online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of ourcustomers' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are fully informed about our security and privacy practices and updated as new policies are added or revised. They are regularly notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment under restricted access.
