Use of Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that a website or an e-mail may save to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. Cookies simulate a continuous connection - they let us "remember" information about your preferences and session, and allow you to move within areas of our website without reintroducing yourself.

Our website and emails use cookies to create a more personalized shopping experience for visitors to our site.

Metz Music uses a third party to place cookies on your computer to collect non-personally identifiable information. Although our cookies may contain a unique user ID, they do not collect or store any personally identifiable information.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with personal information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology.
