Information Collected By Our Website
We collect two types of information from users of our Website: personal information described below; and non-personal information such as information about traffic patterns on our Website.Credit Card Information
We do not store any of your credit card information. The information you enter on the payment page goes straight to the payment processor. We do this to improve the security of your information.
So, if you make a purchase with a credit card on ecoagora.com all that might be stored in your ecoagora.com account is your billing address and shipping address. Next time you come back to ecoagora.com, even though you are logged into your same account, we ask you to enter all your credit card information again (you should be able to select a previous billing address from your address list on the payment page).
Please note that certain browsers will store data that you entered on the ecoagora.com payment page, so if you have your browser set up in such a way your credit card data might show up even though we do not store it.Personal Information
