Company > Privacy Policy

Starwood Scale Models takes your privacy seriously.

This policy covers how Starwood Scale Models treats personal information that we collect and receive when you interact with the our web site and online store. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available. This policy does not apply to companies that are listed on our web site. While we do list 3rd party products, such 3rd party privacy polices are not under our control and you should become familiar with that company's policy before using services on their respective web sites. Starwood Scale Models cannot control, nor will be held liable for how a 3rd party company handles any information that you transmit to them.

Information Collection and Use
Starwood Scale Models collects personal information when you order products from our online store site or "shopping cart" services. This information is used by us to fulfill your order; without it we cannot ship you the product you have purchased. When you order we ask for information such as your name, shipping address, billing address, email address, zip code, and phone number. This information is kept on file for 5 years or until it is no longer necessary to archive by California state law and the IRS. When you order we also ask for your credit card number and credit card expiration date so that we can process payment for your order. This information is not available to Starwood Scale Models employees outside of our secure online payment system, and is secured once the payments are processed. Orders placed with Starwood Scale Models are collected and archived in our company database and from time to time we will send you information regarding our products and services.
