3. Emails from Computer Expo |

We maintain an opt-in/out, user-customisable subscription service of email addresses of people requesting promotional emails. We do not want to send emails to you if you would prefer not to receive them. Therefore, every email provides a way for you to unsubscribe from future emails. In addition, you can visit our web site, or call 08 9221 2500 . We also have administrative procedures in place to remove email addresses and domains that consistently send failure messages to our email servers.

4. Security |

For credit card transactions, Computer Expo adds security by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This means that the credit card information you send is encrypted by your computer, and then decrypted again on our side, preventing others from accessing your private information in between.
