1. The information we collect:

The type of information we will collect about you includes your Personal Information such as:

  • name

  • phone number
  • email address
  • credit/debit card details
TUSTING uses personal information such as this to communicate with you and to process your orders.

In order to offer the best possible service to users, TUSTING also monitors the patterns of usage of pages on the Site.

2. Keeping your information secure

To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, we have in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as personal and credit card information. SSL encryption is designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but the intended audience. This security measure is working when you see either the symbol of an unbroken key or closed lock (depending on your browser) on the bottom of your browser window.

3. How we use your information:

TUSTING uses your personal information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits and to personalize promotional offers. Specifically:

  • Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention and will not be kept longer than necessary.
