SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We recognize that our customers trust us to protect their personal information. We take this seriously. We have taken steps to protect the personal information in our custody and control. For example, we restrict access to personal information to those of our employees and authorized service providers who need the information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We have taken reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of personal information in our custody and control.

In order to provide you with an enhanced level of security, online access to certain personal information may be protected by a password of your choice. We strongly recommend that you do not share your password with anyone. Wide the brand will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited communication.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should be aware that, unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be considered absolutely secure. Therefore, Wide the brand does not represent or warrant that Personal Information will not be lost, misused or altered, and Wide the brand assumes no responsibility for Personal Information transmitted to Wide the brand by you, nor for the use or misuse of Personal Information by you or any third party.

Below are some recommendations to help ensure that your online shopping experience is safe.

- If you are using a public computer, always log off when you are finished.

- Do not share your passwords. Remember, anyone who knows your password can access your account.

- When creating a password, use at least eight characters - preferably a combination of letters and numbers. Do not use words from a dictionary, your name, email address or other personal information that can be easily obtained. We also recommend that you change your password often.

- Use a different password for each of your online accounts.

- Beware of unsolicited emails and phone calls.

In addition, Wide the brand will never contact you to ask for your credit card or bank account information. This type of information is only sent to Wide the brand when you make a transaction, contact Wide the brand directly, or change your account online. If you receive a suspicious email with a link to update your account information, do not click on that link. Access your account directly at widethebrand.com. If you are contacted by a stranger who sends you an unsolicited email or asks you to confirm or provide your password or personal or banking information, ignore the request and contact us immediately.

For security reasons and to prevent fraud, credit card orders placed through this website will only be accepted by Wide the Brand if the name and billing address match the name on the purchaser's credit card and the address on the purchaser's credit card file. If the information does not match, your order will be refused, even if the transaction has been pre-authorized by your bank. In this case, the reserved order amount will not be available for pickup until the credit is posted to your account, which may take three to five business days.
