How Customer Information is Collected, Retained, and Used
We gather information from the following sources:
· Information we receive from you on applications or other forms;
· Information about your payment transaction with us, or others;
· Information we receive from consumer reporting agencies; and
· Information that is entered into software applications that communicate with Magensa, LLC, a subsidiary of MagTek.
The information collected is only used to process your order internally, to ship the product you have ordered, and for customer service and support follow up.
We use cookies and JavaScript on our website to offer you the best user experience, analyze site traffic, and allow you to save certain information that you choose.

We do not store any personal information (name, credit card, phone number, etc.) in cookies.
Credit card information is processed on a secure server with 128-bit encryption. Every effort is taken to ensure this information is not released. All orders support AVS (Address Verification) to protect you against fraud. If you desire your order to be shipped to an address other than the billing address on your card, please contact your bank and have them add the shipping address as an alternate address on the card.

· Geolocation and IP addresses;
· Device information, including operating system, log data, and screen size;

Restrictions on Disclosing Your Personal Information
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MagTek, Inc., our customers, or others. In the case of unauthorized credit card use, etc, the information will be provided to law enforcement agencies and others as appropriate.
Maintaining Your Privacy in Business Relationships with Third Parties
Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others.

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes.
Ending Customer Relationships
In the event that our customer relationship should end, we will continue to treat the information we have about you the same as if you were still one of our customers.
