The information we collect and How do we use it?
When you order, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number, and expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about our special offers.

How do we protect customer information?
We employ the latest encryption and security technology, including SSL. All account information is encrypted before it is sent to us and cannot be read as it is being processed. To further insure your protection, your credit card number and expiration date is kept only long enough to complete the transaction. This information is never stored in a database. We guarantee that each purchase you make is 100% safe.

What are "cookies"?
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive.

SECURITY
Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your information, including your name, address and credit card information, so that it cannot be read as it travels over the Internet. When you shop at Shaka Time Hawaii, you'll be one of thousands of customers who have safely shopped with us without credit card fraud. Due to the level of security we provide, a security breach is highly unlikely. However, in the unlikely event you experience credit card fraud, immediately contact your credit card provider according to its reporting procedures.
