Thomas Online Privacy Policy: Keeping Your Information Safe and Secure

At Thomas Online, safeguarding your personal information is our top priority. By choosing to shop with us, you agree to our privacy policy, which reflects our commitment to protecting your data and providing a secure shopping experience. Whether you’re browsing for kids’ toys, books, or partyware, you can trust us to handle your information responsibly.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We understand the importance of privacy in today’s digital world. That’s why we’ve established robust data handling practices that align with the highest standards in online retail. This policy outlines the type of information we collect, how it’s used, and the measures we take to ensure it remains protected.

Secure Payment Processing You Can Trust

To ensure the safety of your financial information, Thomas Online uses a secure credit card payment system hosted by Digital Payment Solutions (DPS). All online credit card transactions are processed through DPS, meaning we do not store or access your credit card details. This industry-leading security ensures peace of mind with every purchase.

How We Use Your Personal Information

When you place an order, the personal details you provide—such as your name, address, and email—are used solely for the purpose of processing your order. These details help us fulfill your purchase, deliver products, and provide customer support when needed.

For transparency, we retain transactional records as required by our financial institution and for compliance with legal obligations. However, rest assured that your data is never sold or misused.

Sharing Your Information: What You Need to Know

Thomas Online takes your privacy seriously. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except for trusted partners who assist in the operation of our website.
