Protecting Your Information
We have taken reasonable measures to protect your personal information and to ensure that your order and your credit card information are safe and secure. Our servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS), an advanced encryption technology.
SSL/TLS is considered the industry standard and is among the leading protocol available to encrypt online transactions. Your personal information including your name, credit card number and address is encrypted so that it cannot be read as it is transmitted over the Internet. Regardless of these efforts, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, any information you transmit to us is sent at your own risk.
Safe Shopping Guarantee
The Fair Credit Billing Act states that your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent credit card charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any amount up to the full $50.00, UP BBB will cover the entire liability, up to the full $50.00.
If you suspect unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card according to its reporting rules and procedures.
Please note that UP BBB will cover this liability only if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at UP BBB online shopping while using our secure server.
Children’s Privacy
We do not intentionally collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that we have collected personally identifiable information from a user of the Site who is under the age of thirteen, we will remove that child’s personal information from our files.

Offline Collection, Use & Disclosure of Information
This Privacy Policy applies only to that online collection of personal information. We may also collect information offline, where we also try to protect the privacy of your personal information. One example involves someone calling us to place an order or to ask questions. When someone calls, we will ask only for the personal information we need in order to place the order or to answer the question. When we need to store information (such as order information), we will enter it into our database through SSL/TLS encryption. (See the Protecting Your Information section above for more information).
