If you do not wish to receive updates or other material SureFire, you can simply respond to our e-mail or otherwise tell us that you do not want to receive our future communications.
What we collect
To process and ship your order we need your name, billing address, shipping address, e-mail address, billing phone number, shipping phone number, and credit card number. We will e-mail you to confirm your order and keep you updated on your order status. If we have a question about your order, we may contact you by e-mail or by phone.

Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser. Cookies help us identify you when you visit SureFire. We do not store your password or any other personal information in your cookie.
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some SureFire.com website features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Protecting your personal information
We use the industry standard for Internet security, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL 128-bit) encryption to scramble your personal and credit card information as it travels over the Internet during the checkout process. This encryption makes it impossible for anyone to read your information in transit. We protect all of your personal information, including your name, address, password and credit card information. For an additional layer of security, we encrypt every credit card number we store in our database.
You will know you're in the "secure" area of our site when you notice that the "http" portion of SureFire's website address in your browser changes to "https." The "s" stands for "secure." In addition, browsers typically use special symbols (such as closed, highlighted lock) to indicate that you're in a website's secure area. Some browsers let you know that you're moving in or out of a secure area by notifying you with a special pop-up window that requires you to accept by clicking "ok" before continuing.
Protecting your credit card information
SureFire collects credit card information from you to process your purchases from the site. Only reputable third-party financial institutions handle our credit card transactions.
Whenever you transmit credit card information and other personal information through our site, the numbers and letters are scrambled using encryption technology. To protect your security, we do not allow you to store your credit card number from session to session.
Protecting your password
We encrypt your password to ensure no one else has access to your account. If you forget your password, you can create a new one. You can do your part to protect your personal information by keeping your password a secret and making sure you log off from the website completely before sharing a computer.

Conditions of Use, Notices and Revisions
Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use may change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to. As always, we recommend that you check our website frequently to view recent changes or updates. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
