Security of transactions
This section is intended to inform you of the security measures implemented to ensure the protection of the information you transmit to when you order products through the B&C Balloons Store Internet site. Here are answers to some of the questions which preoccupy customers (and rightly so) who are about to make their first on-line purchase.

Could someone appropriate my credit card number to go on a shopping spree at my expense?
No. Here is why. First, only B&C Balloons will process your payment, can access the personal information - such as your credit card number and expiry date. Furthermore, the page on which you will transmit that information is protected by a secured link. B&C Balloons Store servers use a state-of-the art, 128-bit key data encryption system called "Secure Socket Layers" (SSL) to encode personal information transmitted on the Internet. In other words, to read this information, someone would have to break a code capable of more than one billion combinations by trying them systematically one after the other. Thanks to this system, your credit card number and its expiry date become indecipherable while they travel on the Internet.

How do I recognize a security link?
As soon as you come upon a secured page, your browser will post a message advising you that your request is protected and telling you that the information you are transmitting on the page is coded to ensure confidentiality. In addition, your browser will post an icon confirming that the link is secured. If you use Netscape Navigator, there will appear a small blue key in the lower corner of your screen. Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Explorer use a padlock. Be careful: a broken key or an open padlock warn of an unsecured link. Also, when you are on a secured page, a small "s" is added to the URL address which appears on your browser's bar changing the usual "http" at the beginning of the address to "https". On the B&C Balloons Store site, only the page on which you are transmitting your credit card number is protected by a secured link because it is the only page on which you will transmit information that needs to remain confidential.

What personal information does the B&C Balloons Store require and why?
When you make an on-line purchase, the B&C Balloons Store needs to know your name, the delivery address, your email address, your telephone number and your credit card number and its expiry date. This information allows us to process and track orders. No credit card information is saved by the B&C Balloons Store's servers.

If I buy on line through the B&C Balloons Store 's Internet site, will I receive all kinds of promotional offers from the B&C Balloons Store or from various companies I may never have heard of?
No. The B&C Balloons Store's advertisers and/or partners can never access your personal information. Furthermore, the B&C Balloons Store promises not to sell, rent or exchange its customer lists. However, if you indicate that you are prepared to receive such promotional information, the B&C Balloons Store could, on occasion, send you information about its site or products that is likely to interest you.

Does the B&C Balloons Store use "cookies"?
Yes. The use of "cookies" or "witnesses" on Internet sites has become the rule rather than the exception, and most browsers are programmed to accept them. Witnesses record visit-related information in a small file stored on your hard drive. This information is then used by the B&C Balloons Store to simplify your shopping and your navigating. Witnesses store information related to your "travels" on our site. They do not have the required capability to gather other information on your hard disk.

Am I always protected when I click on a super link that takes me to another site?
Maybe yes, maybe no. The B&C Balloons Store exercises no control on the operation of those sites, which have their own protection policies with respect to personal information. Take the time to become aware of those policies and remember that B&C Balloons Store will accept no responsibility for the security of information you may transmit on those sites. Even though the B&C Balloons Store takes the utmost care in choosing its partners, it does not, in offering those links, endorse those partners or suggest it is in agreement with their products, services or with the information presented on their sites.

Warning
The concerted efforts made by the B&C Balloons Store to protect the personal information that travels on or through its Internet site do not absolve users from assuming the risk that the confidentiality of that information might be broken. Accordingly, the B&C Balloons Store disclaims responsibility with respect to damages you may incur as a result of information exchanges with the B&C Balloons Store on the Internet. The B&C Balloons Store reserves the right to transmit personal information if required to do so by law or by virtue of regulations, or to protect its rights as well as those of the B&C Balloons Store site users and of its commercial partners.

Security is on our mind as well as yours!

Accordingly, the B&C Balloons Store insists on making those transactions as reliable and secure as possible.
