our behalf, such as preparing and delivering orders, sending
e-mail and physical mail, providing marketing assistance,

links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer
service. Access to personal information is granted solely for the
limited purpose of performing such functions and not for any other

How Secure Is Information About Me?
As Kellogg's General Store (KelloggsGeneralStore.com)
recognizes the importance of securing the information that you
provide, we operate as follows:
- We strive to protect the security of your
information during transmission by using industry-standard Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you
input.
- We securely store your credit card number in your
account profile to draw payments on orders which take time to
fill, such as custom ordered fine furnishings. These items take
10-12 weeks from order creation to delivery date, requiring 50%
deposits, 40% prior to ship, and a final payment at delivery. When
you place your original order, you give us permission to transfer
funds from your account for these payments as needed to process
the order. Although we do not require payment in full at the time
of order, you are authorizing payment in full at three specific
points of production. All three payments will be authorized at the
time of the order, and will be processed at the point in
manufacturing and delivery as needed by Kellogg's General Store (KelloggsGeneralStore.com).
Your account information is not subsequently displayed with order
information. We will otherwise retain your credit card number in a
secure manner to process each payment, or as long as your account
remains active with orders as such. We will only retain this
information for as long as reasonably necessary for prompt order
processing.
- Order information can only be viewed by customers
at the time the order is placed. If you have a VIP Membership, and
obtain an account number you will be able to log into your account
using your KelloggsGeneralStore.com password. When using a shared
computer, you must protect your password and your computer against
unauthorized access and sign off when finished.
