We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to anyone. Our products
are shipped direct from our clockmaker, to you, so we need to provide your
informatio to them for the purposes of a safe delivery. If you have an enquiry,
or need a repair or return, your enquiry will be passed direct to our clockmaker.
Payment:
If you choose our E-path direct payment gateway to complete your purchase,
then E-Path stores your credit card data temporarily. It is encrypted to the
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). We also use that information
on NAB Transact to process your payment. Your purchase transaction data is
stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction.
After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed
by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like
Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help
ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its
service providers.
