Privacy & Security
PRIVACY
SCW recognizes the dangers posted by online shopping and are committed to protecting and using customer information responsibly. We welcome any feedback and questions. For privacy related issues you can contact us: By mail: Syracuse Cultural Workers PO Box 6367 Syracuse, NY 13217 By phone: 800.949.5139 By fax: 800.396.1449 By email: scw@syracuseculturalworkers.com SCW collects customer information under the following conditions:
- an order is placed from our catalog or web site
- an inquiry is made about our products or services
- a catalog is requested
- a gift package is received
- a registration is completed on our website
- a purchase is made at our retail store
- a customer subscribes to our emails
The information, collected and maintained in a secure database, may include name, billing and shipping addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and when necessary, payment information. SCW may use this information to send you electronic (via email) or printed (via US mail) materials promoting our products, announcing sales, and offering other special, limited-time discounts. We never add customers to our weekly email list without your permission.
Email subscribers can opt out of receiving future emails from SCW in several ways: using the unsubscribe button at the bottom of any newsletter email; updating email preferences for your SCW website user account; following the link that appears on the bottom of every email; or by contacting Customer Service.
SCW occasionally shares the names and postal addresses of customers who haven't "opted out of such sharing" to other carefully selected and screened organizations or companies for the purpose of sending our customers relevant and complementary catalog, magazine, or fundraising offers. Individual information shared may consist of name and address. We do not share customer telephone numbers, email addresses, or payment information with other companies. You always have the right to choose not to receive information from us or from other companies by simply contacting us by any of the methods noted above.
SECURITY
SCW protects your online order information by using a secure internet bridge between our business and the credit card and electronic check payment processing networks. A 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Internet Protocol (IP) connection digitally encrypts your order, making it undecipherable to anyone except SCW. To take advantage of secure shopping you must have a compatible browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. Some browsers and some firewalls do not allow access to secure servers and will therefore limit your shopping experience.
By using our web site, you consent to the collection and use of information by SCW as indicated above unless you notify us otherwise. If we make a change to our policy, we will be sure to post those changes on this page so you can always be aware of the information we collect and how we use it.
