Privacy Policy

Do you record my credit card information?

No. When you make a purchase, you supply your credit card information to PayPal when you pay for your order and they NEVER reveal it to us. PayPal have their own privacy policy and terms of use which can be found at PayPal.

What information do you keep and how do you use it?

We collect and keep several pieces of information about you on our site which is only accessible by you once you log in or by us at any time. Our "database records" consist of the following information:

• The details you choose to give us, real or not, at the time of registration which are used to identify you. We will use this to personalise your experience at myALBINO.com ("the site"), for example, "the site" will refer to you by your name. We will also use this information to alert you to issues regarding your account, changes to the operation of the site in general and to send you our quarterly newsletter. If during registration or at any other time you select the option to receive regular news from us, you will also receive our regular news letter which will include information about our product and services.
• Your purchasing history. We use this to allow you to browse through your past purchases. We will use this to tailor information we send to you so you may find it more relevant. We will also anonymously and privately use the purchasing information from all users to determine the popularity of designs and overall trends so we can further improve our service to you.
• From the information that you give PayPal at the checkout, we will receive back only the information required to fulfill your order. We keep this information as part of your purchasing history. This includes the name of the person recieving the package, the shipping address and an email address. PayPal will NEVER send us your credit card information.
• We pass your browser some cookies so that a number of website settings can be re-used as you move around or re-visit our website. The cookie facilitates the recall of items in your cart even when you do not have an account with us. We do not do anything else with your cookies. Learn more about what cookies are and how they are used.

Apart from "database records" we also keep any "e-mail correspondence" between us.

We also keep the following "business records":

• Financial information regarding the sale for the tax man.
• The "proof of receipt" paper slip which you sign when you receive your parcel.

Can information about me be deleted?

Currently we do not have a mechanism for you to delete the information you have with us yourself, however, we will happily comply to such a request from you. If you would like us to, we will delete all of our "database records" pertaining to you. You can delete your browser cookies yourself, if you are unsure of how to do this, please consult your browser‘s documentation. We will not destroy the "business records" or our "e-mail correspondence".

What information do you share with others?

To fulfill your order, we will share your address with the postal service so that they can deliver you package and record its journey. We will not share, rent or sell any personal information to anyone else.

How do you protect my security?

We have chosen to use PayPal to process all sales transactions. They are a well established and trusted payment system. Using PayPal means that we neither store nor process your credit card information. Your credit card is handled by the PayPal checkout which communicates with your computer over HTTPS, which means all communication between you and Paypal, including your credit card number, is encrypted (the lock icon on your browser). Additionally, when you browse your personal information on our site, we make sure to transmit it ot you over HTTPS as well to protect your privacy. Your cart, your login information, your history and your profile is the type of information we consider your personal information. Additionally, your order is also sent to the PayPal chekout over HTTPS meaning, again, that your privacy is protected. We continuously work hard to ensure that our site is as secure as we can.

How can I further enhance my security?

The first step is to make sure that the username and password you use on our site and those that you use on PayPal are NOT the same. Please! We beg you! At least make sure that your password is different. Note that this beg and plea is also one of the Terms of Use you are complying to merely by registering an account with on our site.
