Privacy & Security Policy

We want you to know how we collect, use and protect information about our online customers.

Our Privacy Policy

Maitreya Project respects your right to privacy. We value our customers' trust. To insure your privacy, we only use customer information for order identification, customer service contact, or demographic analysis. We may need to contact customers by phone, postal mail, or email if questions arise regarding your order or donation. Demographic analysis is done by Maitreya Project only, and information is not shared with anyone not affiliated with Maitreya Project.

We do not send unsolicited or "spam" e-mail. Maitreya Project uses e-mail addresses to communicate with our users, to send information about your order or donation, and to send newsletters.

We do not sell, rent, or lend any personal information about our customers to any third party. All information provided to us is kept in strict confidence.

Our web site may offer links to other sites. Other sites have their own policies regarding privacy. If you visit one of these sites, you may want to review the privacy policy on that site. In addition, you may have linked to our Web site through another site. In such cases the site you linked from may collect information from people who click on the banner or link.

Our commitment to Data Security

We have appropriate physical, electronic and procedural security safeguards to protect and secure the information we collect.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

Our web site links to the WorldPay secure server for credit card processing. WorldPay uses 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your personal credit information, including your credit card number, before it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is the industry standard for secure online transactions.

When you use secure portions of our site or proceed to our online checkout, either a solid key or a locked padlock icon will appear in the lower right of your browser window. This icon insures that your transaction session is secured through SSL.

Our use of Cookies

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser. Cookies allow us to provide features such as storage of items in your shopping bag between visits.

The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our web site's best features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.
