At NostalgicBulbs.com, we take security very seriously. All of our employees have reviewed our privacy policy and must log in to a secure administration site with an username and password to view any customer/sales information. A NostalgicBulbs.com technical team checks our security monthly, so you can rest assured that your information is private. For transferring sensitive information such as credit card accounts, we rely on Braintree - a PayPal Company checkout secure encryption technology.
When you send or transmit your sensitive information (such as your credit card number) to our site, your sensitive information is encrypted and protected with SSL, the current industry-standard encryption protocol. When you are on an SSL-protected page, a picture of a closed lock appears at the bottom or top of some web browsers. Another way to tell if you are on a secure page is to check the URL or address of the page. Secure SSL-encrypted pages have URLs that start with "https://" instead of "http://".

What happens when I create an account with NostalgicBulbs.com?
You do not have to create an account or register to place an order, request a catalog, or browse the website. If you want to save address information for the next time you visit or place an order, we need to identify your information through the account and/or registration information. If you choose to create an account, you will be requested to select a username and password. Our web server will recognize registered users when they return to the website and prompt them to "sign in" (if you are using the same computer that you used to create your account). The information needed to help our server recognize a registered user is stored in a "cookie" on your computer. Cookies do not have the ability to search your computer for other information or transmit information to any other location.
Are my credit card and personal information safe?
We use sophisticated encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of our customers' personal information, including credit cards and passwords. We guarantee that every online transaction you make will be 100% safe. This means you pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your card as a result of shopping at NostalgicBulbs.com. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made while using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
What happens if NostalgicBulbs.com is sold?
If we are acquired by another company, or a significant portion of our assets is sold to another company, all of the customer information that we have collected may be transferred to the new company. This would include only consumer information since we don’t ever see or keep your financial info.
