Privacy Policy

African Dawn Trading has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more personalized shopping experience. We do not disclose the information we collect to outside parties.

African Dawn Trading does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. Although we may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors; these statistics will include no personally identifying information.

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do tell us your browser type, how long you were on the site, how many and which pages you accessed, previous sites visited, your state of origin, and IP address. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, to keep track of your shopping cart, and for other purposes. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features in our site.

We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you and your shopping cart and to gather broad demographic information.

In summary, we may monitor visitor, customer, and user traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of our Site; we may also use or disclose any information gathered to satisfy any law, regulation or other government request; and financial information that is collected is used only to process orders and bill for products and service.

At African Dawn Trading Company, we are committed to protecting your privacy both as a customer, and as a friend. We understand and share the same concerns about submitting personal information as most online shoppers. Our promise to you is that we will protect the information that you provide, and use it solely to enhance your experience while shopping with us. We've provided a few FAQs below to address some of the questions you may have.

What information do you collect and why?

The information collected by African Dawn Trading Company includes data such as your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. This data is gathered through orders processed on our website, by creating a personal account, and by communications with our sales representatives.

The primary purpose for collecting this information is to confirm and process your sales transaction and to contact you with questions or communications about your order if necessary.  We also use this information to help create a more personalized shopping experience and communicate with you for marketing and promotional offers.

We encourage our customers to set up a personal account, which helps to make all repeat shopping trips easier by retaining your billing, shipping and email information (we do not store your credit card information) so it will not have to be re-entered.  We also offer the option to receive occasional information on new products, services, special deals, and newsletters. This option can be discontinued at anytime by simply click on the un-subscribe button at the bottom of any email.

How is my privacy protected?

At African Dawn Trading Company, we respect your privacy. That is why we never sell, trade, or rent a customer’s personal information to any third party organization. We will only release account information if it is necessary to comply with law, enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements or protect the rights, property or safety of African Dawn Trading Company, our users, or others.

In addition, we protect your privacy during the order process by the use of a secure server (SSL). This server encrypts any information you enter before it is sent to us. SSL encrypts your order information and personal information before it is transmitted to us to prevent the decoding of your information by anyone other than African Dawn Trading Company. For further information, please see our security policy.

What is a cookie and how are they used?

Cookies are small data files that many web sites use to identify you when you visit their site. This small text file allows a web site to remember your browsing habits, save information in abandoned shopping carts for your next visit, and can also keep track of products that you have shown an interest in.

As a shopper, when you add items to your shopping cart, a cookie is created on your machine with a unique Shopper ID number. If, for some reason, you have to leave our site before completing your transaction, the next time you visit African-Dawn-Trading.com your previous product selections will show in your basket. This allows you to easily remember what you were interested in the last time you visited our site.

How do I change my account information?

You can make updates to your account information at any time. Simply log into your account through the My Account button at the top of the screen. Change any information you want and then select "submit".

We welcome any questions or suggestions you may have regarding African Dawn Trading Company's privacy practices. You may contact us at info@african-dawn-trading.com.
