We are aware that our clients trust us for the protection of their personal information and we act accordingly. We are commited to protect the personal information we have collected and manage. This information is only accessible by our employees and service providers when they need it as described in the present policy. We have taken administrative, technical, and physical measures to ensure the protection of the information we have collected against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure.
In order to ensure the highest level of security, online access to personal information may be protected by the password of your choosing. We strongly recommend you do not share your password with anyone. Gosselin does not have access to your password and will never ask for your password in an unsolicited communication. If you forget your password, it can be reset only by you when you follow the steps mentioned in Forgot your password?
Notwithstanding what has been previously mentioned, you must understand that, unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be completely safe and secure. Consequently, Gosselin offers no warranty that your personal information can't or won't be lost, abused, or modified, and assumes no responsibility regarding the personal information you provide us or any abuse of this personal information by you or third parties.

If a stranger contacts you, sends you an unsolicited email, or otherwise asks you to confirm or disclose your password or your personal or banking information, ignore his/her request and report us the incident immediately.
For security reasons and to prevent fraud, purchases made by credit card through this website will be accepted by Gosselin only if the billing name and address match the name and address of the credit card account used to pay. If the information does not match, your order will be declined even if the payment was aproved by your bank. In such case, before we deliver the items you ordered, additional verifications will be made, requiring three to five business days to complete.
