Your privacy is important to us!

    At AVToyBox.com, we take every necessary precaution to protect your privacy.  Be assured that your secure information is guarded by industry-leading standards of encryption and security.  At no time will your private information ever be provided to any source outside of AVToyBox.com with the exceptions of providing our shipping carriers with your mailing address or if your information is subpoenaed into a court of law for legal proceedings.

    In addition, your personal information, which includes the following, will never be sold to any outside source or mailing list:

    • Email addresses
    • Names
    • Account numbers
    • Physical addresses
    • Phone numbers
    • Payment type

    Security steps we have taken by working with Yahoo!

    • Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption Yahoo! uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when transmitting certain kinds of information, such as financial services information or payment information. An icon resembling a padlock is displayed on the bottom of most browsers window during SSL transactions that involve credit cards and other forms of payment. Any time Yahoo! or AVToyBox.com asks you for a credit card number for payment or for verification purposes, it will be SSL encrypted. The information you provide will be stored securely on Yahoo! servers. Once you choose to store or enter your credit card number on Yahoo!, it will not be displayed back to you in its entirety when you retrieve or edit it in the future. Instead of the entire number, you will only see asterisks and either the first four digits or the last four digits of your number.
    • Yahoo! Security Key
      The Yahoo! Security Key is an additional optional layer of security to control access to sensitive information or services on Yahoo!. Users of financial services such as Yahoo! Wallet, PayDirect, Yahoo! Bill Pay, and Money Manager are asked to create a security key during the sign-up process or when you purchase certain services that require a Yahoo! Wallet. Please note that the Security Key automatically "times out" after an hour and requires the user to sign in again to access Security Key protected areas.
    Tips to protect your own personal information:
    • Choose the right password. A password is like a toothbrush: choose a good one, don't share it with anyone, and change it at the first sign of problem. A password can be any length, and may contain spaces, symbols, or numbers. You should come up with something that's easy for you to remember but impossible for someone to figure out.  Combinations of letters and numbers are secure choices.
    • No source should ever ask for your password in an unsolicited email or phone call. If you receive such a request, assume it's a hoax and don't reply.
    • Be suspicious. Anyone, anywhere in the world, can register for an ISP account, and Internet email protocols allow anyone to send a message that appears to be from any other person. Don't assume an email from "Mom" or "Uncle Dave" was actually sent from someone you know, and don't assume that an unsolicited message from user@yahoo-inc.com was really sent by that account.
    • Scams abound. Scams are a popular way of getting your personal information. The most common scams are fake login pages and forged emails that ask for your password, credit card number, or other sensitive information. Ignore anything you see that strikes you as questionable or suspicious.
    • Know your software. Malicious software (e.g., viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware) often masquerades as legitimate and even useful software. Think carefully before installing or running new software, especially anything unsolicited.
    • Use anti-virus software. This can detect many, but not all, forms of malicious software before they have a chance to affect your computer. Most notably, anti-virus software does not detect spyware.
    • Keep your software up to date. You can prevent many problems by regularly checking for and installing updates for your operating system, browser, messaging software, and other programs.
    • Clean up after using shared computers. If you share a computer, whether it's in a public or private setting, make sure to sign out when not using your account. You should also learn how to "clear the cache," if you use the computer to browse the Internet. Remember that using a shared computer is always riskier than using a computer to which you are the only person with access.
    • Everyone has a role to play. By working together, understanding the risks and knowing how to protect ourselves, we can enjoy our online experience more and be less likely to run into trouble
    • Use common sense - if an email or popup box seems too good to be true, it probably is and it is also probably a trick to get you to click and visit a malicious or spammy site. Browse with caution and never click links in emails to go to sites to submit personal information such as usernames and passwords. Scammers are getting very creative at making an email appear as though it was sent from a major trusted source such as eBay or PayPal. Don't let these "phishing" scams fool you into giving away personal information. Always check account information by opening a new browser window and typing in the URL of a site yourself for login purposes.
