Privacy & Security

At Hobby Zone, we are committed to honoring and respecting your individual privacy. The following paragraphs describe our privacy policies regarding the personal information you provide us as well as information we collect about how our visitors use our site.

Hobby Zone offers two shopping options that allow you to choose how much information you wish to share with us for your shopping convenience.

1. Shop Anonymously - None of your personal information is stored. Each time you procede through our check out you will be asked to provide your shipping and billing information.

2. Create An Account - We store your billing and shipping information, and credit card information on our secure server for your convenience. This is all pre-filled in the appropriate areas in our Checkout procedure.

The information you provide for the Create An Account option is protected by the personal password you select, along with your User ID, so that only you have access to your account information.

We believe that your email address is private information and you have our assurance that we do not rent or sell your email address to anyone. We use your email address to send you order-related emails, like shipping confirmations, as well as informational/sale newsletters.

You may opt out at any time from any or ALL newsletters in the series, either online or by using the links provided in every newsletter issue.

All orders on our site are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology - one of the most prevalent and secure systems available online. SSL is an extremely complex form of cryptography that makes it virtually impossible for a third party to decrypt any personal information you provide. You can rest assured that your personal and credit card information is protected when transmitted online.

We use computer "cookies" only to assist us in identifying our valued returning customers and tracking items placed in their shopping carts. We store an identification number in your cookie that is only significant to HobbyZone.com. No personal information is stored in your cookie. If you attempt to shop and have cookies disabled, we will not be able to remember items you have placed in your shopping cart.

We use JavaScript for many useful features such as instantly displaying backordered items, recalculating your order total when selecting a different shipping method and for displaying pop-up information for products and assistance throughout our site. Having JavaScript enabled isn't a requirement for using our site. However, these features are designed to enhance your online shopping experience and to make shopping online more convenient for you.
