You may browse our website without any data being collected from you, however in order to enjoy a tailored browsing and shopping experience, we offer you the ability to register an account with us.
You do have to have an account in order to purchase goods from BuyLocalShops.com. When you add items to your cart, a file is created on our server which stores details of your purchases. This file is linked uniquely to your browsing session and account cannot be viewed by anyone else.
When you complete your order, we ask for personal information about you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number and credit card details. This data will only be shared with our payment service provider and retailer, and only for the purposes of processing and shipping your order. We do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties.
All sensitive data is transmitted via an industry standard 256-bit secure socket layer connection.

The 'remember me' feature is an automatic login process which creates a cookie on the hard drive of your computer containing a unique login ID, thereby avoiding the need to enter your login details upon subsequent visits to BuyLocalShops.com.
