Data Security

Protecting your personal information is a top priority for us at The Iconic Toy.

Our website uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect the transmission of sensitive information, such as your credit card details, during the checkout process. This ensures that your payment information is securely transmitted to our payment processors.

In addition to encryption, we employ physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to maintain the security of your data. Our internal systems are protected by firewalls and other advanced security technologies, and access to personal information is restricted to authorized employees who require it to perform their job duties.

For example, we may retain your order history and related transactional data for a period of time to comply with tax laws and to handle any potential disputes. When we no longer have a legitimate business need to retain your data, we will securely delete or anonymize it. We carefully review our data retention practices to ensure we are not keeping your information longer than necessary.
