Our company may send campaign information, information about new products, and promotional offers to its customers and members from time to time.

Personal information transmitted electronically to our store by our members during the approval process conducted through our store or via email will not be disclosed to third parties outside the scope and purposes specified in the “User Agreement” we have with our members.
In order to identify system-related issues and quickly resolve any problems or disputes that may arise in relation to the services provided, our Company records and uses the IP addresses of its members. IP addresses may also be used to identify users in a general way and to collect comprehensive demographic information.
Our company may also use the requested information for direct marketing purposes, either by itself or by persons with whom it cooperates, outside the purposes and scope specified in the Membership Agreement. Personal information may also be used to contact the user when necessary. Information requested by our company or provided by the user or information related to transactions made through our Store may be used by our company and its partners for various statistical evaluations, database creation, and market research, without disclosing the identity of our members, beyond the purposes and scope specified in the “Membership Agreement.”

CREDIT CARD SECURITY
Our company prioritizes the security of credit card holders who shop on our shopping sites. Your credit card information is not stored in our system in any way.
When you enter the transaction process, there are two things you should look for to ensure you are on a secure site. One is a key or lock icon at the bottom of your browser. This indicates that you are on a secure internet page and that all your information is encrypted and protected. This information is only used in connection with the sales process and in accordance with your instructions. Information related to the credit card used during shopping is encrypted using the 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol independently of our shopping sites and sent to the relevant bank for verification. If the card’s validity is confirmed, the purchase continues. Since no card information is viewed or recorded by us, third parties are prevented from obtaining this information under any circumstances.
The reliability of payment/billing/delivery address information provided for online credit card orders is verified by our company to prevent credit card fraud. Therefore, for customers placing their first order on our shopping sites, the accuracy of their financial and address/phone information must first be confirmed before their order can proceed to the supply and delivery stage. If necessary, the credit card holder or the relevant bank is contacted to verify this information.
Only you can access and change all the information you provide when you become a member. As long as you keep your membership login information secure, it is not possible for others to access or change your information. For this purpose, membership procedures are conducted within a 128-bit SSL security zone. This system is an unbreakable international encryption standard.
Online shopping sites that have a helpline or customer service and provide their physical address and phone number are increasingly preferred today. This allows you to obtain detailed information about any questions you may have and gain more reliable information about the credibility of the company providing the online shopping service.
Note: We recommend ensuring that the company’s physical address and phone number are displayed on online shopping sites. If you are going to make a purchase, make sure to note down all the phone/address details of the store where you are buying the product before completing your purchase. If you are unsure, call to confirm before making the purchase. All information about our company and our location is clearly stated on all our online shopping sites.
Mail Order Credit Card Information Security
The identity and credit card information you send us via mail order will be stored by our company in accordance with our privacy policy. This information is retained for 60 days to address any potential disputes with the bank regarding credit card charges and is subsequently destroyed. If any amount other than the approved mail-order form amount is charged to your card in exchange for the products you ordered, you can naturally dispute this with the bank and prevent payment of this amount, so there is no risk involved.
