SCOPE OF THIS NOTICE

This privacy notice informs customers of our online privacy practices. By using our service, customers agree to the terms of this Privacy notice. The notice explains what information we collect from customers and how it is used in order to continue providing customers with outstanding service.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Our first goal in obtaining personal information is to provide customers with a meaningful, enjoyable, and personal website experience. Our second goal is to develop new products and services relevant to current and potential customers. In other words, personal information allows us to provide customers with more of what they prefer and less of what they don’t.

Information Customers explicitly provide

In order to establish an account, purchase products, or to participate in various online programs offered through the website or affiliate, customers will be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information to us such as their name, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number. If a customer chooses to purchase products or services, they will be asked to provide a valid credit card number and expiration date along with billing and shipping address information. Credit card and billing information is not held with Edge and is secured by Moneris Solutions. Customers can choose not to provide this information but then they might not be able to participate in some of our services or offerings.

On some pages, customers can submit information about other people. For example, if a customer orders a gift online and wants it sent directly to the recipient, a customer will need to submit information such as the recipient’s name, address, and phone number.
