Designs, any personal information that you may share with us (and with our business partners that help this site function or assist us in filling your order) is kept absolutely private. Neither your name nor anything about you is sold or shared with any other non-affiliated company or agency.

personal information we may gather Purchases
When you place an order, you give us your name, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, e-mail address plus either credit card or checking account information. If you create an express account with us so that you may place orders more conveniently, you authorize us to store your name and shipping address, and optionally, credit card, checking account and billing information.

E-mail Newsletters and Announcements
We need your e-mail address. It will never be sold to anyone. Period. Should you decide to no longer receive e-mail communications from us let us know by calling or e-mailing us.

how we use cookies You do NOT need to accept or use cookies to shop at Alicia P. Designs. However, some of our services including the express checkout service involve cookies. These cookies are for your convenience only and are not used for any other purpose.

If you do not wish to accept cookies of any kind, you can set your browser not to accept them, or tell it to erase all cookies at the end of a session.

your security At Alicia P. Designs, we go to great lengths to keep your financial information private and safe. All financial transactions occur in a secure area of our site, to protect you from any loss, misuse or alteration of information collected. If that security were ever breached, it would cost you nothing - so you can buy online with confidence.

your financial information is safe We use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL), the industry standard in transferring information to process your orders. The SSL encrypts, scrambles, your order information into a highly indecipherable code, which is processed immediately.
your transactions are secure When you're finished shopping and begin the checkout process, you will move into the secure area of our web site. A warning window may pop up to notify you that you are entering this "safe" area. Once you've entered, the web page address (URL) will change from http to https, to let you know you are in a secured area. Also, a key or a closed lock will appear in the lower left hand corner of your web browser to notify you of this change. You will remain in this secure area for the entire checkout process.
you assume no risk In the unlikely event that anything happened with your financial transaction with us, we would assume all liability. We'd work with your bank company to cover any cost and to minimize hassle for you. Our commitment in this regard is total and absolutely unconditional. Please note however that if you decide to use a third-party service to pay for your order, these services have separate data collection practices and privacy policies. They are independent of us. We cannot assume any liability by using these services and you must understand their policies before using them on our site to complete your order.
