How Trind Protects Your Information

We realize that our customers trust us to protect their personal information. We take that task seriously. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.

For example:

We use the best-of-breed Extended Validation Secure Sockets Layer [“(EV)SSL")] authentication available to guarantee the confidentiality of online transactions made on our site. (EV) SSL authentication and encryption of the information that you send to us over the Internet help protect your online transaction information from third party interception. Trind.ca & TrindUSA.com uses 128-bit to 256-bit encryption to protect your data and transactions.

Unfortunately, despite all of our efforts, there is always a risk that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions via malware, spyware or viruses that you may have obtained from other sites.

How Trind Uses Your Personal Information

Trind collects personal information primarily to make our services more rewarding for you to use. We use this information for internal purposes and in general for the specific purpose as to why the information was provided. We may also use information provided for the following reasons:

Notification of order(s) placed.
Notification of order(s) shipped.

We never rent or sell your information to third-party individuals or companies.

We will only share your information with credit card processing and shipping companies for the purpose of fulfilling your order of Trind products that you have ordered from us. Using your information for the purpose of solicitation by these companies is strictly prohibited.

Refunding a Purchase

In the event that you as a customer are entitled to a refund or to correct any errors to your purchase transaction, Trind.ca & TrindUSA.com will require the Order ID located on the receipt that you received with your order. The Order ID is the only reference number that can be used to refund any credit card or PayPal method of payment. The reason for this is that no payment method information is kept on our servers for longer than 24 hours.

For your financial information security the Order ID is indirectly linked to the purchase method (ie. Credit Card) via the credit card processing center and once the two are matched is the only way the refund or adjustment can take place. Credit Card information still remains unviewable by anyone including Trind.ca & TrindUSA.com and therefore is protected.

The Order ID which we also keep on file if you misplaced your receipt is searchable via our database by customer name, email address used and/or date of order placed. Therefore, you can be sure that if any refund or adjustment is necessary your order can be found and the refund or adjustment can take place easily and securely.
