Privacy Policy on indieCart

This privacy policy exists to let you know what information you provide to indieCart is collected, and how this information is used and shared. Privacy is very important to us at indieCart and you should know up-front that none of your information will be shared with third-parties, nor will you receive unsolicited email from indieCart as a result of account registration.

Please review this policy frequently as it may change in the future.

Account Registration

At the time of account registration, your first name and email address will be collected and stored. Your first name is used in greeting messages throughout the site to make you feel welcome. Your name and email address are provided to sellers from whom you place orders so that they can communicate with you and ensure a satisfactorily completed transaction.

Upon registration, an activation email will be sent to you to confirm your email address. In addition, you may request password resets which will be sent to you via email.

Orders

When you complete a transaction through a indieCart store, if it is completed via Paypal, your full name and address will be stored within the indieCart database as a reference to the seller. This information is available only to the seller with whom the transaction was completed and will not be shared with anyone else.

Polls and Surveys

Occasionally, polls or surveys may be conducted to determine and prioritize needed indieCart features. These polls will be conducted on-line, with no email, and the individual results will be kept strictly confidential. Statistical and aggregate information from these polls will be shared in a non-personally identifiable manner.

Communications from the Site

Aside from the aforementioned registration confirmation emails, passwords resets, and forum notifications, the only email that will be sent to you by indieCart are purchase and payment notifications during transactions. indieCart will not send promotional, service-related or information emails of any kind.
