When you make an online purchase from McKenzie Associates we collect information necessary for billing and shipping purposes, such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and credit card numbers. We also maintain a record of your online purchase. We use your information to process your order.

We respect your privacy and appreciate your business. At no time do we ever provide your account contact or payment information to any third party vendor, associate or service provider unless absolutely necessary in order to complete your transaction and order. Here are the types of information we gather.
Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. For example, like many web sites, we sometimes use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our website.

E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more productive to improve service and your shopping experience, we sometimes send you newsletters about our services and products, notifications of changes to our policies, and order confirmations. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us, other than order notifications and receipts, please adjust your "Subscription" preferences by logging into your account.
Security Notice
Your Financial Information Is Safe
The security of the information regarding your order is very important to us. We use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to protect the security of your online order information. SSL technology encrypts your order information to protect it from being decoded by anyone other than McKenzie Associates.
Your Transactions Are Secure
Once you enter the checkout page your computer will begin communicating with our server in secure mode. You can tell that you are in secure mode by the following:
The "HTTP" in the web address will be replaced by "https". The "s" stands for "secure."
Depending on the browser, you will see either a padlock (Microsoft Internet Explorer, AOL, Netscape Communicator) or a solid key (Netscape Navigator) in the lower section for the browser window. You will remain in this secure zone for the entire checkout process. Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. If you are unable to connect to a secure server or would rather place your order by phone, please call us at 1.336.659.8486.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide to us for purchasing of our products or services. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer by clicking the "log off" link located in the side menu.
