Online Security of Personal Information
Tanner's Sewing and Vacuum Center is committed to data security with respect to information collected on our Web site as well as over the phone and in our stores. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

Extremely Secure Charge Card Processing Gateway
While the security of your charge card information as it travels over the Internet is very important, equally important is the security of the charge card processing by the party receiving the charge card number. With today's faceless e-commerce economy, special concerns need to be addressed to ensure that your charge card information is not accessible to those with unknown or unproven security track records. While we know that our employees are trustworthy and have excellent security records, this fact is not easily discerned when you visit a Web site. In situations where your charge card information is forwarded directly to an online merchant, you can never be completely sure who will have access to it.

We provide you with the most secure charge card processing available by using the LinkPoint Gateway to connect our site's Web server directly to the financial institutions which authorize and process our charge card transactions. As a result, your charge card number is not stored on our site's Web server, eliminating the risk of unauthorized access to it there. As an extra safeguard, LinkPoint even prevents us from accessing your complete charge card number on their system. However, should the need arise, we are able to credit your charge card account using the identification number associated with your original transaction. This virtually removes all risk of charge card fraud, providing outstanding protection for your charge card information when purchasing from us online.

You also benefit when we use the LinkPoint Gateway since the charge card transaction is authorized automatically, providing immediate acknowledgement that it is approved for the amount of the sale. It is no wonder that LinkPoint has become one of the leading payment authorization service for online businesses.

You also have the assurance that your charge card account will not be charged more than what you approved when completing your purchase. There is no way that we can charge more than the amount authorized by LinkPoint when you entered your card information. This is an additional protection against fraud.
