We use your IP address to help diagnose
problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.
Our site uses cookies to keep track of
your shopping cart. We also use cookies to store temporary
variables that help save time when entering information
that has been previously requested.
Our site's catalog request form requires
users to give us contact information (like their name
and email address). We use customer contact information
from this form to send the requested catalog and follow
up, if needed to ensure customer satisfaction.
Our online surveys ask visitors for contact
information (like their email address).
Our
online store uses an order form for customers to request
information, products, and services. We collect visitor's
contact information (like their email address), unique
identifiers (like their social security number), and financial
information (like their bank account or credit card information).
This confidential financial information is collected solely
for fulfilling orders and to properly bill the user for
products and services. Contact information from the order
form is used to send orders and information about our
company to our customers. The customer's contact information
is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary.
The CITM™ online store contains links
to other sites. Checks In The Mail, Inc. is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
other Web sites.
Our Privacy Policy
Providing you, our customer, with the best

Policies and provide you with the rights to request us not
to share certain information about you. These policies regarding
your privacy are in regards to all financial products and
services we offer to customers.
1. We obtain non-public Information,
such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address,
purchase history and personal account information to provide
you with the personal checks, products and services you

from checks, ordering forms, internet orders and other

Service Providers

service providers as permitted by law in order to process

The security and confidentiality of your information is
of our greatest concern. To protect this, Checks In The
Mail restricts all access to customer's Information only
to those individuals on a "need-to-know" basis.
Checks In The Mail maintains a strict environment to protect
you and your Information with safeguards to ensure the
security and confidentiality of your Information.
This site has security measures in place
to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information
under our control. The following measures are in place
to protect customers from unauthorized use of their information.
The online store uses SSL Encryption to scramble sensitive
information (like bank account and credit card data) that
is being sent back and forth from the CITM™ web server
to the customer's web browser. Checks In The Mail is a
secured facility and all phone calls, faxes, mail and
e-mail are handled by authorized personnel. In addition,
all computer systems are physically secured.
The Checks In The Mail online store
protects your transactions with the highest levels of security.
Our
servers use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
an advanced encryption technology that works with Netscape
Navigator and Communicator (version 2.0 and above), Microsoft
Internet Explorer (version 3.0 and above), and AOL (version
3.0 and above) browsers. SSL encrypts all of your personal
information, including your account line specification,
MICR line specification, or similar form of access number
or access code for a credit card account, deposit account,
transaction account or other nonpublic, private information
, name, and address, so that it cannot be intercepted
as the information travels over the Internet between your
browser and our site.
While
we use Secure Socket Layer encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our power
to protect user-information off-line. All of our user's
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
our Billing department or a Customer Service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable information.
All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and
privacy practices.
Finally,
the servers that we store personally identifiable information
on are kept in a secure environment.
The VeriSign Secure Site service, is
one of the most recognized symbols of trust on the Web,
and offers our customers instant access to Checks In The
Mail's security data. Verisign reports that it is virtually
unheard of for someone's credit card info to be stolen
via the Web and misused. And in the highly unlikely event
that it is, the Fair Credit Billing Act protects e -shoppers
against unauthorized use of credit information, limiting
liability to only $50. (source: Verisign, Inc.)
