Welcome to the DownUnder Fishing Supplies Australia On-line Store.

For each visitor to our Web site, our Web server automatically recognizes the consumer's domain name and e-mail address (where possible) .
What personally identifiable information is being collected?
When you visit the DownUnder Fishing Supplies Web site, in order for us to provide you with the products or services that you have requested, you may be asked to provide us with personally identifiable information. For example, when you order a product you will be asked for your name, shipping and billing addresses, your e-mail address, and your credit card number or other payment-related information. In addition, our Web servers track various technical details about your visit, such as your computer's IP address and which pages you visited, however that information does not typically contain any personally identifiable information about you.
We post customer testimonials on our web site which may contain personally identifiable information such as the customer's name. We do obtain the customer's consent prior to posting the testimonial to post their name along with their testimonial.

Secure Ordering Process
Any credit card information you enter on our site is strongly encrypted by industry-standard protocol, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) . The DownUnder Fishing Supplies Web site uses SSL to communicate with secure browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer. These browsers encrypt your credit card and personal information in a way that makes it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept and misuse while being transmitted between your computer and our server. Don't worry if your browser is secure or not - if it is insecure, you will not be able to purchase on our on-line store.
Once you have completed your order on-line, our security procedures do not end. We take appropriate precautions to protect the security and privacy of the information stored on our computer networks. Many of the systems which store your personal information are not connected to the Internet, reducing the likelihood of security breaches. Our systems are also housed in secure facilities, and access to your data by our employees is limited to a "need to know" basis, controlled by password protected systems, and monitored for abuse.
If you are still unsure of giving your credit card over the Internet, please feel free to phone, or mail your order to us.
