At northica.net we consider privacy important and strive to keep your personal information between you and us. Personal information includes facts that uniquely identify you, such as your name, email address, billing or shipping address, or phone number. We have established appropriate operations to protect data provided by you.

Your privacy. We don’t share personal information with third parties. We collect the minimum amount of information needed to provide you with the service requested. We won’t disclose your personal information except as required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request, to enforce our terms of use, or to protect against fraud or other harm to northica.net, our visitors, or the public.

Secure connections. Since we consider your personal information confidential, we establish a secure socket layer (SSL) connection with your browser (provided that your browser is enabled to use SSL) whenever you enter personal information. This step ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels the Internet.

Your browser indicates that a secure connection exists by displaying a locked padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the browser window. You’ll also notice that the webpage location begins with ‘https’.

Shopping. Online purchases are handled through PayPal; while you don’t need a PayPal account to buy our products, PayPal does handle credit card transactions (see their privacy policy to review how they handle these transactions). For all purchases, we maintain your contact information securely to the best of our ability and use it only to communicate with you regarding your product order.

Newsletters. We can offer you the ability to join and cancel newsletter subscriptions separate from purchases. We don’t automatically sign up visitors or customers for any newsletter; we only request your email address and preferences regarding northica.net.

Email. We may record email and other communication you send to northica.net as we handle your inquiries and requests; we may also review any communication in order to improve our products and services.

Cookies. When enabled by your browser, cookies might be used by our shopping cart for online purchases. While we prefer that you have cookies for this purpose, when cookies are disabled, we respect your preference and use an alternate method when possible (some features are only available through the use of cookies). Since cookies can be disabled, we limit their use elsewhere on northica.net. (A cookie is a text file stored on your computer by the browser as instructed from a website. The cookie is a record that can be referenced by a future webpage from that site; for example, a shopping cart’s checkout page can “see” what products you have added to the cart. We don’t store personal information in cookies, and our cookies are session cookies that are deleted automatically from your hard drive at the session’s end.

If you came to northica.net by clicking an online advertisement, you will likely have cookies set to measure the ad’s performance. These measurements help improve the quality and relevance of our ads; ad cookies typically remain active on your computer for about thirty days and are also governed by the site that delivers the ad service (see the privacy policy of the website that you originally clicked for more information).

Website logs. Like most websites, our servers automatically record information that results from your visit to northica.net, including information provided by your browser. We review this information to provide better service and content to our customers (for example, by knowing your browser type we can ensure that pages we develop will work for you), and may share non-personal totals (such as how many times a particular webpage was viewed in a month).

Links to other websites. As a convenience or service to our visitors we link to other websites. We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices, content, or subsequents links on these sites.
