Information Collected Directly From You

Listed here are some further examples of the ways that we collect personal information directly from you and how we use it.

Our Website

Our website can be browsed anonymously. However, to engage in certain special features or functions of our website, or to order products and services from our website, you may be asked to provide certain personal information, such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, or credit card information. We use this information to create your account, contact and correspond with you about your order, respond to your inquiries, and monitor functions of our Web Sites that you choose to use, such as online forums.

Purchase Follow-Up

Following a purchase we may send you a follow-up letter to thank you for your business, or we may contact you to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the delivery of your new product

Sign-Up for Newsletters or Updates

Breakaway Sports Cards also offers a variety of newsletters and promotional communications. Should you choose to enrol we will collect your contact information, such as name and email address. This information will only be used to send you the newsletter and promotional announcements that you have requested. Our subscriber list is never sold or rented to other parties.

Participate in a Contest or Promotion

From time to time, we may run contests or promotions. If you participate, you may be asked for contact information as well as additional optional survey information (for example, product preferences). Personal information from contest entries will be used only to administer the contest and contact you if you win. All contests and promotions are subject to this Privacy Policy and the rules that will be available with each particular campaign.

Do We Share Your Information?

When you shop with us, you can be assured that your shopping experience is 100% secure. We respect the privacy of every individual who visits our website. Any and all information collected on this site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, disclosed or loaned. Any information you provide us with will be held in the utmost care and will not be used in any way that you have not consented to.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

The security of your personal information is a high priority for Breakaway Sports Cards. We maintain appropriate safeguards and current security standards to protect your personal information, whether recorded on paper or captured electronically, against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. For example, electronic records are stored in secure, limited-access servers; we employ technological tools like firewalls and passwords, and we ensure our employees are trained on the importance of maintaining the security and confidentiality of personal information.

SSL Technology

Our website uses encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your personal information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address, and credit card number.

Choosing a Password

When you create an online account on our website, you need to select a personal password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and any account information. Breakaway Sports Cards will never send an unsolicited communication asking you for your password or requesting that you update your account credentials.

Secure Online Payments

Protecting your order information is our priority. We use Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) technology to protect the security of your online order information. When you input your information into our system via our check out, your shipping information and credit card information are sent in an encrypted code that only we can decode. This information is sent to a credit card payment processor (PayPal) who validates your name, address and credit card information. Your encrypted credit card information is then sent directly to the credit card processor and is never stored or seen by our computers; this is directly for your safety.

Breakaway Sports Cards has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. We encourage you to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of any modifications.
