Safe Shopping Policy

We have taken numerous steps to ensure that your payment information is processed confidentially, accurately and securely. Our payment processor uses encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your credit card information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address, and credit card number. Some older browsers and firewalls don’t permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you’ll be unable to purchase products online.

Purchases

If you should make a purchase on the website, including a subscription for a magazine, we will typically ask for your name, address, mailing address, phone number, credit card number and the expiration date. If the product or subscription is provided or shipped by a third party, we will pass on to the third party the information needed to fulfill your order.

No purchase is necessary to enter a fluidpowerjournal.com promotion.

Fluidpowerjournal.com may co-sponsor Promotions with other companies, in which case any information collected is likely to be shared with other participating sponsors, who may use this information. A registrant’s personal contact and demographic information will not be released to any third party organization other than named sponsors without the registrant’s consent.
