How we use information: Buffalo Gearvwill use the information you provide us when placing an order solely to fulfill your order. This information is not shared or sold to third parties, except to the extent necessary to fulfill the order. Billing information is transmitted to our payment processor through highly secure 128-bit encryption, ensuring that your information will not be intercepted by third parties.

We use the information you provide about another person when placing an order only to ship the product and confirm delivery. We do not share this information with third parties, except to the extent necessary to fulfill that order.

We use return email addresses to respond to email we receive. These addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with third parties.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and improve your shopping experience. This information does not identify you personally. This information may be shared with third parties in order to improve our service.

Finally, we never use or share personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to those described above without also offering you the opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Our commitment to data security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to help protect your order information. This encrypts your credit/debit card number, order information and other personal data. When you access our cart and checkout pages, your computer automatically uses SSL encryption to communicate with our server. You can easily verify that this encryption is taking place by looking at the web address (URL) in your browser window. The address will start with "https://" when your information is protected by SSL encryption ("s" stands for secure). Most modern browsers will also display a green lock icon.

To further ensure the security of your personal data, we do not store credit or debit card information on our servers. During the checkout process, your credit card information bypasses our systems and goes directly to our payment service provider, Braintree. Braintree, a division of PayPal, uses some of the most advanced security features in the payment processing industry and is a PCI Level 1 verified processor.

By using our website, you (the visitor) agree to allow third parties to process your IP address, in order to determine your location for the purpose of currency conversion. You also agree to have that currency stored in a session cookie in your browser (a temporary cookie which gets automatically removed when you close your browser). We do this in order for the selected currency to remain selected and consistent when browsing our website so that the prices can convert to your (the visitor) local currency.
