Your Information is Protected in Accordance with PCI Data Security Standards
Our company has been passed an audit for compliance with the 'Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard,' which is a set of security requirements created by the Payment Card Industry. The standards outline strict guidelines specifying what Merchants must do to protect the privacy of customer information.
This includes measures to protect any information you provide to us over the internet, as well as physical measures we take to physically safeguard any data that we need to keep for tax records. This information is basically limited to invoices, which we store in a locked fireproof file cabinet in a building with a security system.
The PCI Council requires that Merchants meet this set of security requirements if their business accepts, transmits, or processes customer payment cards (such as credit cards or debit cards). Our secure checkout also meets or exceeds industry standards for encryption so that you can buy with confidence, knowing your private information and payment information is secure. We do not see your credit card number or your security code.
Certain Exceptional Disclosures
We may disclose your information if necessary to protect our legal rights or if the information relates to actual or threatened harmful conduct. Disclosure may be required by law or if we receive legal process requiring us to do so, such as if there is litigation or alleged fraudulent activity of any kind.

How Do We Protect Information We Collect?
SolarFlairLighting.com offers secure web pages to collect certain kinds of user information and we store certain kinds of data in encrypted form. We follow PCI Data Security Standards technical and management practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.
How Long Do We Keep User information?
We generally keep user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. We may alter this practice according to changing requirements. For example, we may delete some data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for longer periods if the law requires it, such as information related to taxation. In addition, information posted in a public forum (which would be a page outside of www.SolarFlairLighting.com, such as our blog www.SolarLightingSmart.com) could stay in the public domain indefinitely.
Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control.
Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies.
