I collect information about you in order to maintain the site, to better understand your needs, and to improve services and products.

To protect your personal information, I take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. I am committed to securing your data and keeping it confidential. I have done all in my power to prevent data theft, unauthorised access, and disclosure by implementing the latest technologies and software, which help me to safeguard all the information that I collect about you. If you provide me with any credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, I follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
SECTION 5 - CONSENT & DISCLOSURE
When you provide me with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, the data subject (you) has given consent to the processing. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject. In order to complete your order, the processing of your personal data is required in order to complete the payment and arrange the delivery of the items you have ordered. It is implied that you consent to me collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. I do not store customer credit card details nor do I share customer details with any 3rd parties other than those used in the order process. Your personal information may be used when I need to send you promotional materials if you agree to this privacy policy. You can withdraw your consent to receive email marketing at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in any marketing email you receive. Mode 500 will not lease, sell or distribute your personal information to any third parties unless I have your permission. I may, however, disclose your personal information if I am required by law to do so or if you violate the Terms of Service. How do I withdraw my consent? At some point, you might wish to restrict the use and collection of your personal data. If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for me to contact you, for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting me at [email protected].

This site contains links that lead to other sites. If you click on these links I am not responsible for your data and privacy protection.

For these providers, I encourage you to read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or I. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
