Protecting privacy is not new to Deluxe Business Checks and Solutions. We have a long history of recognizing and protecting the privacy of our customers' information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and utilizing technology that gives you the safest and most powerful online experience available. We want to assure you that when we ask for customer information, our goal is to improve our customer relationships. The following statements will help you understand how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide through our Web sites.

When you browse this Web site, you do so without revealing your identity. Personal information is not collected without your awareness. For each visitor to this site, our servers recognize the Web site you came from and the Web site you visit after you leave. In the order-capture process, we may track the order preferences of visitors to the Web site. We track order-preference information by using cookies.

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your Web browser on your computer's hard drive. A cookie may contain information (such as a unique user session ID) that is used to track the pages of the Web sites you've visited. We use cookies, but we do not store personally identifiable information in your cookies. This Web site uses cookies to improve your shopping experience. The information stored in cookies helps us serve you better by keeping track of your order as you shop at this site. This information also helps us improve the site design.

Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually set your browser to decline cookies. Even if your Web browser is set to decline cookies, you can use many of the features within this site. However, you will not be able to place an order or retrieve your order status.

We are committed to protecting your private information. We use the information collected about you to process orders and to provide a more personalized shopping experience. We may also use your information to communicate with you about products, services, and future promotions. For the purposes of check verification and fraud prevention, we exchange information about our customers internally and among our affiliates. If you place a consumer check order through Checks by Deluxe for Microsoft Business Solutions, we do not share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties, except as permitted by law.

At times, we may request that you voluntarily supply personal information for purposes such as receiving correspondence, registering on this Web site, making purchases, participating in online surveys, and receiving notice of employment opportunities.
