Privacy


Your Privacy is Protected

The Test of Metal race entry credit card information will be processed through a company called Payment Processing Inc. You can find out more about Payment Processing Inc at www.paypros.com.

The Internet allows Test of Metal Inc. to interact with you across time and space to offer information and services. At the same time, it also brings legitimate concerns about privacy and security.

At Test of Metal Inc. we are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals and safeguarding information entrusted to us. In fact, it is one of our highest priorities.

What Information is Collected?

Processing your online entry involves the receipt, processing and transfer of messages, which contain payment transaction data. However, when you visit the Test of Metal website, information is not collected that could identify you personally unless you choose to provide it voluntarily. You are welcome to browse the website at any time anonymously and privately without revealing any personal or financial information about yourself.

Security

At  Test of Metal Inc., all the information you provide is securely maintained and kept strictly confidential. We do not store your financial information. We do, however, collect and commit to database your other information. If you wish this information to be removed, see our Opt-Out Policy further down this page.

How We Safeguard Your Information

Test of Metal Inc uses up to date technologies and maintains current security standards to ensure that personal and transaction information is protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, inappropriate alteration or misuse. All safety and security measures are also appropriate to the sensitivity level of your information.

Electronic files are kept in a highly secured physical environment with restricted access. Paper-based files are also kept in secure locations with restricted access.

Online Security

We diligently manage our infrastructure with leading edge security mechanisms. Our security practices are reviewed on a regular basis and we are proactive in deploying technologies to ensure that the confidentiality and privacy of your information is not compromised.

Test of Metal Inc uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and 128 bit encryption technologies to enhance security when you visit the secured areas of this site. SSL is the industry standard protocol for protecting and maintaining the security of message transmissions over the Internet.

To ensure your connection to the protected areas of Test of Metal website is secure, look for either a 'closed lock' or an 'unbroken key' icon located at the bottom right hand side of your browser's task bar. You may also check the Address bar to determine if SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is active by looking at the beginning of the address. If it starts with "https" rather than the standard "http", then SSL is operating.

Anonymous/Non-Personal Information

Test of Metal may collect anonymous/non-personal information for the purpose of tracking hits to various webpages and analyzing visitor traffic. Anonymous/non-personal information is information that cannot be associated with or traced back to a specific individual or business entity. For example, our web servers collect some anonymous/non-personal information automatically when you visit our websites. Gathered electronically, this information may include the pages you visited, the type of web browser you are using, the level of encryption your browser supports and your Internet Protocol address. The anonymous/non-personal information collected may be used for research and analytical purposes. For example, we are able to determine how many times our online privacy policy has been visited but we do not know any specific information about those visitors.

When Information May be Disclosed to Third Parties

At Test of Metal Inc, we do not disclose personal information to any third party site, except to process and transfer payment information among processors, acquirers or financial institutions who are legitimately involved in the transaction processing sequence. PPI is our payment processor and we submit your credit card information securely to their site for processing. To review their privacy policy visit their website or www.paypros.com/
