City Boxers Privacy Statement
Upon entering cityboxers.com, we do a check to see where you are coming from.
Other than this, we do nothing else to gather information on visitors to the
site. The reason we do this is so we can tell if visitors are coming from some
of the "paid" sites where we have purchased links. Curious!?! Well, 99.9 percent
of our visitors still come from web searches made through sites that we did not
pay advertising fees to. Interesting, huh?!?
We do keep records on who we sell boxer shorts to, but these records are totally
private and will never, and I mean never, be sold to anyone. This information is
not kept anywhere on our web server, so there is no chance that a snoopy person
will access your data.
As far as how
safe is your information, well, there are just two of us here--my business
partner and myself. So, the information you send to us will not be handled by
more than just us two. And, we have both been in business long enough to know
that messing with our customers will not benefit us in the long run and we
do plan on being around for a very, very long time to come.
Another concern you might have is excessive marketing after making a purchase. Other
than a brief followup asking for purchase comments after a purchase and to see
how our boxer shorts are holding up, we will not be on you constantly with marketing
junk. You see, I shop on the internet myself and, frankly, abusive
marketing ticks me off. So, we are just as conscious of your security
and privacy concerns and hold these concerns dear to us. We will not abuse you!
Upon placing an order, we do send a cookie over to your computer if you allow us to do so.
We leave this decision up to our customers so there is no misunderstanding as to what we are
doing. If the customer chooses not to have the cookie sent to his or her computer, we do not
do it. At least we ask, right!?! This cookie is for your benefit as a City Boxer shopper
and has nothing to do with us gathering information for marketing purposes or gathering
statistics. It's sole purpose is to fill out the order form for you upon reordering boxer
shorts in the future. No sensitive information, i.e. credit card numbers, are placed
in this cookie. We wanted to do this so our regular customers would not have to fill in this
information every time they reappear to place an order. Considering the large percentage of
reorders we get, it did make sense to do this. We had thought about passwording a database
that we keep on the server here to keep track of this information, but this would seem to be
a more dangerous approach. And, even though I shop at PCConnection regularly, I can never
remember my user name and password so I still end up filling out the order form once again.
You see, a cookie is simply a text file located on your computer that no one else can access
except for the domain/website placing the cookie or yourself. Security wise, this approach
is very safe.
In conclusion, we will not do anything to make you regret becoming a customer of City
Boxers. For more, visit our Message Board.
