Human Beings Don’t See Your Credit Card Number
To ensure your privacy and the security of your personal information the Teague Products checkout system is protected with an SSL connection at 128-bit encryption. This technology cost us tons of money. We spent it because we want you to buy our solid bronze door hardware. In short, stay out of the door and window shop. Your cardholder data is safe here. SSL is symbolized on web-browsers by the address of the window changing from http:// to https://, meaning a secure connection. Your connection to our sever is protected. No one can see it. And we will never save your credit card number. No human being actually sees it. It is encrypted at your web browser and sent over the SSL connection to what’s called a Gateway. The Gateway then puts the money from your cardholder bank into our business checking account. The Gateway is a company that Teague Products hired to keep our transactions safe. Very secure computers decrypt your card number when it reaches the Gateway. It’s the safest way to buy things across the internet.
Your Personal Information Is Not For Sale
Although we could, we do not sell or distribute your personal information to any 3rd party. That would be stupid on our part. Your information is used only to process your order unless you subscribe to our newsletter in which case only your contact information is retained. We electronically verify each transaction with the credit Gateway, processing only those orders if the credit company so authorizes it. In the case of a suspicious or declined transaction, our company may contact you to confirm the validity and ensure your identity or cancel that order with full notification. If your card was ever used for fraudulent purchases, we will provide you with all financial documentation related to the fraudulent use of your card. Basically, we’ll help you catch the thieves.

Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as the storage of all the bronze levers, knobs, and entry sets you save inside your Shopping Cart. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, if you disable cookies, you will not be able to purchase from the web site. We recommend that you leave them turned on or please contact our Customer Service to have your order placed. Our employees built this site. Some of us are technology nerds. We can trouble shoot your internet problems. Contact us.
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you start adding levers, knobs, and entry sets to your card. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses TeagueProducts.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at TeagueProducts.com if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist. So why don’t you just enable cookies and who like everyone else?
Emails and Newsletters
TeagueProducts.com uses emails as one of our primary ways to respond and communicate. It’s your login. It’s your ID. All emails sent are either a direct response to an inquiry, communication concerning an order (receipt, shipping confirmation, etc) or a newsletter if you have indicated you wish to receive specials on your account information. We really don’ t send newsletters about our hardware often. If we release a new line of levers or bronze knobs that we’re really proud of, then yes, you might get an email about our new products.
When creating an account (placing an order) through TeagueProducs.com, we offer the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletters. These contain specials & discounts, updates about our websites and information about the lines and products we are featuring.
You may change your subscription status at any time to the newsletter by logging into your Teague Products account, and editing your "Account Preferences". Lastly, if you wish to reach us by phone, our representatives in our call center can also alter your subscription preferences.
