Information sharing
Embroidery Central shares user information with other companies or individuals outside of Embroidery.com in the following limited circumstances:
1. Embroidery Central may provide user information to trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of verifying licenses or ownership, fulfilling customer orders, providing direct technical support. Embroidery Central requires that these parties agree to process such user information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
2. Embroidery Central may provide user information to third-parties who establish an independent business relationship with Embroidery.com users. For example, Embroidery Central may provide information on third-party products and services through links on Embroidery.com, newsfeeds, email, or mail, etc. Users who request, purchase, or subscribe to these outside services establish a business relationship independent of Embroidery Central and this privacy policy.

Information security
Embroidery Central takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. Trusted business partners may be used to store this data and they are required to take these same measures.
Credit Card Processing & Encryption
Credit card payment information is received from the user and transferred to the payment processor using a secure encrypted connection. Only pages that send or receive payment or personal information are encrypted. Information about the exact encryption protocols being used are available in most web browsers. As a practice, Embroidery Central does not store full credit card numbers for more than a few seconds until the card has been successfully billed. After billing, credit card information is deleted except for the card type, expiration date, and last four digits (for reference) along with a transaction key provided by the credit card processing company. Customers are able to bill the same credit card without re-entering their credit card information. This is accomplished by using the transaction key provided by the credit card processor. Transaction keys are specific to a merchant account and would have no value to a potential hacker.
Minor exceptions to this practice may occur if there is trouble billing the credit card or card information is conveyed over the phone, for example.
Data integrity
Embroidery Central processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary. Customers who receive login priviledges must provide an email address and verify that email is deliverable to that address.
Changes to this policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date.
