How We Collect Information
Hodges Badge Company, Inc. collects information online by asking you for it, for example, when you place an order. The Company also uses "cookies" (data strings the server writes to your hard drive that contains your unique user ID for our Web site) and similar technology to obtain information about your visits to our site or your responses to e-mail - both individually and in aggregated data that does not identify you. At Hodges Badge Company, cookies are used primarily to determine what services or products are of interest. While cookies help improve your experience while visiting the site and customize any communications on the products and services you may desire, you have the option to block them through your Internet browser or other commercially available software. However, doing so may make some of our site's features, such as on-line ordering, unavailable or more difficult for you to use.

Security
Hodges Badge Company uses encryption, firewalls and other technology and security procedures to help protect the accuracy and security of your personal information and prevent unauthorized access or improper use. The Company uses Secure Socket Layer protocol (SSL), which is the current method used to secure web transactions, and collect only the information required to process orders. The secure server maintains the confidentiality of personal information and especially of the credit card number. Browsers that are currently SSL compatible include Netscape 2.0 or higher, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 2.0 or higher, and the latest version of AOL.

Although we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. By using this site, you agree that Hodges Badge Company will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Our server will automatically send you an e-mail confirmation of each order. This will make it easy for you to double-check that all of your orders were entered. For questions regarding this policy, contact:
