Privacy Policy
All Springlights online purchases take place in a safe environment using the latest security technology to protect our customers.
We encrypt your credit card information to ensure your transactions with us are private and protected as they travel over the internet. We accept orders only from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology – this means you cannot inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection. Most web browsers above version three support this security.
Your payment details are held in an encrypted format by our payment provider. This encryption makes it virtually impossible for unauthorised parties to read any information that you send us. The encryption technique we use is the highest standard available for e-commerce.
Your privacy is important to us. We only use the information we collect about you carefully, lawfully and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998

We also may collect navigational information, including information about the links you click, the pages you view and other actions undertaken while on our site. Certain demographic information, such as your industry, may also be collected and may be linked to your personal profile information.

Disclosing your Personal Information
On occasion, Springlights does need to hire other companies to help provide some services. In some of these cases Springlights may need to share information that these companies need, in order to provide services to the company, and ultimately to the customer. For example, we may hire other companies to handle the processing of payments, to provide data storage, to host websites, to fulfill orders and shipments, to assist in marketing, to conduct audits, etc. We’ll limit the information given to them, and the external companies will only have access to the customer’s information for the purposes of performing such functions.

By submitting personal information to us, you acknowledge and agree that you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure practices set out in this Privacy Policy as they relate to your personal information.
