This is general technical data that is essential in transmitting the Website to your computer. This information does not personally identify you.
We also use cookie technology to enhance your experience on our Website. A cookie is a HTML data file that is stored on your computer hard disk. It is placed there by a remote web server and provides the remote server with a memory of who you are. A cookie will typically store information about your recent activities on a website. Our cookies do not contain personal information and cannot read data from your computer. Most browser settings can be changed to control the use of cookies; and you can view your browser’s help file for more information on controlling cookies. While you are not required to use cookies to access all areas of our Website, certain areas of the Website do require cookies in order to function properly. Returns Processing and Order Tracking are currently the only features of our Website that require the use of cookies.

To use the “Check Your Account” feature you are required to submit a username and password that are identifiable to your Budgetext customer account.

How we use your personal customer information.
Budgetext.com does not sell or share your personally-identifying information to any other company, person or agency. We will disclose personally-identifying information only if required to do so by law, or if requested to do so by a law enforcement agency in the context of an ongoing criminal investigation, when such disclosure could be required by a subpoena or court order. Any request for information must be cleared by our legal department. In addition, we may use any information you provide when conducting our own investigations of alleged customer wrongdoing, such as dishonored or fraudulent methods of payment. We may create compilations of information that are not personally-identifying and provide these compilations to other companies to help them understand the shopping patterns of our customers.
Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution and its vendors, which receive the credit card number and other personally identifying information for the purpose of verifying the credit card numbers and processing the transactions. These third parties will have access to your personally identifying information if you purchase from the Website using a credit card.
At this time the only communication you will receive from us will be directly related to a request you have made (i.e. order confirmation, return authorization). If at any time we begin using email addresses or other personal information for direct marketing purposes, you will be given the option to elect not to receive those communications.
The security of your personally-identifying information is very important to us. The information you provide, including your credit card information, when establishing an account with or making a purchase from the Website is secured using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology and a VerisignTM digital security certificate.
SSL technology prevents information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the Internet. VerisignTM independently authenticates the identity of others on the Internet. In this way, SSL is protecting your information as it is being sent and VerisignTM is confirming that our server is the recipient of the information, not an unknown or unauthorized server.
We further secure your personal information by requiring you to log in using your Budgetext customer account number and a personal password any time you enter an area of our site that gives access to personal account information.
Our Website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you visit one of these linked sites, you should review its privacy and other policies. Neither we nor our affiliates review or are responsible for the policies and practices of other companies, and any information you submit to those websites is subject to their privacy policies.
We do not specifically solicit or collect information about children, but we are concerned about the safety of children and their use of the Internet. We will not knowingly request or solicit personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable consent from a parent or guardian. In the event that we receive actual knowledge that we have collected such personally identifiable information without the requisite and verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information from our database as quickly as is practical.
You may request changes to any personally identifiable information that you may have provided to us, including requesting that your name be removed from any mailing lists, by sending an email to our customer service department at customerservice@budgetext.com.
