Personal Information Collected
Pacific Merchants is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. When ordering or signing up on our mailing list, you will provide us personal information about yourself, your firm or company, and your practices when you register through our website e-commerce shopping cart SEO-Cart. This information is protected against theft and potential website data breaches.
If you choose to purchase products or services from us, you may need to give personal information and authorization to successfully complete your purchase. The e-commerce shopping cart software SEO-Cart order forms request this data from users including: billing and shipping contact information including but not limited to customer name, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses; financial information depending on payment method. Credit card payments require credit card number, card code and expiration date. E-check payments require bank name, routing number and account number. These orders may require other billing contact information including but not limited to billing name, billing phone number, and company name. This information is used for billing purposes and may be used to verify and fill customers’ orders. If a difficulty is encountered when processing an order, your billing or shipping contact information may be used for obvious purposes.
Security
Pacific Merchants has implemented multiple levels of website security to ensure a safe online shopping environment. We use secure servers that are monitored 24/7 and have received SSL secure server certification. To date, Pacific Merchants has not received any reports of credit card fraud.
All personal information, billing information, and all other transaction information are required to be collected from at least a 128-bit encrypted secure web page. Upon order submission all information is serialized and securely stored in a database for our customers’ protection. Fraudulent order information is subject to be disclosed to your credit card issuing bank.
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00, Pacific Merchants will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will cover this liability only if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at while using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
Cookies
Cookies provide a means for a Web server to induce a computer to store information about itself which can subsequently be called up by the Web server when required. Currently, our only use of cookies is to store a unique session identifier, which allows us to maintain products added to your shopping cart and to differentiate you from other shoppers so your shopping cart is only available to you. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not store any personal information that you provide to us in your cookies.

Your IP address is stored when you place an order and may be used in fraudulent charge investigations.
