Privacy Policy
So many people worry about their security and privacy rights. AnimeXing would like to address this in two ways, informal and formal. Since people (including us) tend to not read long pages, we would like to make it entertaining so you feel secure and also informed that your rights are safe with us.
AnimeXing Want you to Feel Comfortable Placing an Order!
- Internet security is a concern for everyone. That's why AnimeXing uses a server which supports advanced 128-bit SSL encryption.
- How SSl encryption works? SSL encryption is active on our site in all areas where customer information is requested. You can check to see that you have entered an SSL-active area by looking on the bottom of your screen. If you see an unbroken key in Netscape or a closed lock in Internet Explorer and AOL, you will know that SSL technology is in place and ready to encrypt your information. Another indication that SSL is in place is that the "http://" in your URL becomes "https://
- So anytime you are asked to enter your information, it is transmitted across the Internet in an encrypted (scrambled) form, which is then decoded when it gets to our server.
Your Privacy and the Use of Your Personal Information
- Email and Postal Addresses: We only collect these addresses that are supplied through AnimeXing optional email mailing list and online orders. Sometimes we may contact you with news of new anime products or upcoming events, or send you an on-line newsletter from time to time. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please e-mail us. We do not trade, rent, or sell e-mail and postal addresses to any other parties - ever - period.
- Telephone Numbers: We do not retain telephone numbers for purposes other than contacting individuals with a question or information regarding their order. We do not trade, rent, or sell telephone numbers to any other parties - ever - period.
- Credit Card and other Payment Information: We do not retain credit card numbers or other payment information for purposes other than processing your secure online orders. After your order is placed, your credit card and other payment information records are securely stored in my computer system. Any hardcopy information that is printed out locally here, and is not sent along with your order (internal copies of credit card transaction receipts, for example) is thoroughly shredded before being disposed of.
- Aggregate Site Statistics: We collect, in aggregate form only, the domain names of visitors to our site, as well as statistics about site sales, traffic patterns, and other related site information.

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings.
