Barry's
® takes reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information
is stored securely. Transmissions sent to or from our websites are
routinely monitored for quality control and systems administration. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Whilst we strive to protect your personal information from misuse, loss
and unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee the security of any information
you transmit to us or receive from our online information services. These
activities are conducted at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission,
we do our very best to ensure its security.
Credit card information is among the most important data that may be collected
and/or transmitted. Barry's ® requests that customers do not send credit
card information via email.
What else
you should know about privacy?
Always close your browser when you have finished your user session. This
is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence
if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a
public place like a library or Internet cafe. You as an individual are
responsible for the security of and access to your own computer.
Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information
over the Internet (for example: in discussion forums, via email, or in
chat sites) that this information can be collected and used by others.
In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online
