Michael’s
Wine Cellar
is committed to your privacy and security.
Our
website is designed to ask for only that
information that is necessary to provide
the services that you request. Please keep
in mind that these are services, not requirements.
We’ve been careful to design this Web
site so that you aren’t required to
provide any information to access it.
Purchases require your
name, billing address, shipping address,
e-mail address, phone numbers and credit
card information. We never exchange e-mail
addresses or phone numbers with others.
They are used only to contact you if there
is some question about your order. Our secure
handling of credit card information is covered
in the security information that follows.
Collection of marketing
information...
We collect information
on traffic patterns and site usage to help
us improve the design of our site and our
service to you. This information is collected
and analyzed, pursuant to privacy guidelines
established by the Federal Trade Commission.
We identify a visitor to our site with a
unique ID that contains absolutely no personal
information. The resulting data allows us
to record your interests and shopping behavior,
providing you with a shopping environment
that is easy to use, interesting and secure
Secure Shopping...
When you place an order,
your credit card information is transmitted
over the internet using encrypted Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, the industry
standard method for protecting web communications.
SSL is built into all major browsers and
comes in two strengths, 40-bit and key”
generated by every encrypted transaction.
The AutoSport website supports 128-bit
encryption - trillions of times stronger
than 40-bit sessions.

Once your credit
card information is received by our
web server, it is checked for accuracy
and then re-encrypted using a 128-bit
dual key encryption algorithm. Once
the data is encrypted it can only
be accessed using “keys”
that are securely stored in different
remote locations. For your security,
you are required to enter your credit
card information each time you order.
These elements insure you of secure,
worry-free on-line shopping.
The use of “cookies”...
In the initial design
of the Web, there was no way for a
site to know whether one page request
was connected to another. The page
you’re reading now is not on
our server, it’s on your browser.
In essence, it’s a snapshot of
our site, and some method is needed
to connect such things as vehicle
information on one page to product
information on another. The “cookie”
accomplishes this. There is no mysterious
or secret information in these tiny
text files and they won’t hog
your hard drive. They simply allow
us to temporarily retain basic information
that allows us to maintain a “conversation”
with you, as you move through our
site and/or return at a future date.
Our cookies can only be read by our
site and contain no credit card information
or personal data.
To place an order
through our website, your browser’s
security settings must be set to enable
cookies. If cookies are disabled,
we have no way of placing your product
selections in the shopping cart or
tailoring our custom-fit products
to your particular vehicle. If you
are concerned about cookies, you you
can enable their use in your browser,
place your order, then disable and
delete them after your session.
