Privacy Policy
At Aligned Tek, your satisfaction and sense of privacy are a priority for us. We take a number of steps to ensure your safety and to make sure your experience with us is a pleasurable one. This includes respecting and protecting the privacy of personal information that we obtain through our site. We are always ready to address your questions and concerns regarding our privacy practices. Please feel free to contact us through one of the following methods:
Credit Card Numbers
When you authorize a purchase online with Aligned Tek, your personal information is collected and used to complete your order. Your credit card transaction is conducted through a secure server. Your credit card number is stored only long enough to process the charge. Once the charge is completed, the number is removed from our server to guarantee your safety and privacy.
Email Addresses
We understand the annoyance of receiving junk email. So, we want you to know that your e-mail address will never be given out or sold to any outside party, even ones that you might be interested in. This ensures that when you give your e-mail address to us for ordering or account purposes, you will not receive any other e-mail resulting from that action. Our regular e-mails are limited to order confirmations, customer questions, or announcements.
Personal Information
We never give out your e-mail address. Any names or addresses provided will only be used by you as our customer, and by us as Aligned Tek, for ordering or shipping purposes. It is important to note that there is always a risk associated with disclosing any information in particularly with the method of disclosure used. For example, email communication cannot be guaranteed as secure, so there is a risk inherent in the use of email. Please be aware of this when requesting information or sending forms to us by email (for example, from the “Contact Us” section of our website). We recommend that you do not include any confidential information (e.g., credit card information, SSN, etc.) when using email. For your protection, our email responses to you will not include any confidential information.
