AmScope encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from AmScope so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the AmScope Network of Web sites.

You can browse the AmScope Network of Sites without creating an account, however, you will be asked to create an account when you purchase something in order to take advantage of certain features, such as the "My Account" and other AmScope services. If you choose to not create an account, the features will not be available to you.

When contacting the AmScope’s Customer Service department our friendly staff may request that you confirm certain personal information in order to verify and protect your identity.

We do not store credit card numbers. For example, when you set up your account and/or make online purchases, you will be asked to provide information necessary to facilitate the transaction. When you post comments or other content on our site (e.g., Product reviews, Q&A forum), anything you post will be available to us as well as visitors to our site; when you post information about us on social networking sites, we may collect such information.

AmScope does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. AmScope may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

Information we collect on AmScope.com and its Affiliate Sites may be used to enhance your shopping experience in the following ways:

• To deliver merchandise that you have purchased online or at our facility
• Register you as a member of AmScope
• Prevent fraud and bill you for your purchased items
• Confirm your estimates and orders
• Respond to your Customer Service & Sales inquiries or requests
• Communicate great values and featured items to you
• Locate and stock the products you are searching for
• Customize your online shopping experience
• Comply with valid or applicable legal procedures, requirements, regulations or statutes

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. AmScope also utilizes a technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If your browser is capable of SSL (and most are), your personal information will be automatically encrypted, or encoded, before it is sent through the Internet. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, that are located in external controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through Sectigo. Your personal information is protected by the password you created when you signed up for an account at AmScope or its Affiliates (or another password you chose after changing a previous password). Please keep this password confidential. No Customer Service Associate or any other representative of AmScope will ever ask you for your password. The confidentiality of your password is yours to protect. You may change it anytime by going to "My Account". Log in with your email address and password, then click "Change Email & Password" and enter a new password.

We use other third parties such as a shipping company to fulfill orders, a third-party shopping cart platform provider, and a credit card processing company to bill you for goods and services. We use Live Chat to assist you if you have questions while using our site or regarding your order. We will share your name, billing address, shipping address and credit card information as necessary for the third party to provide that service.

These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for promotional purposes.

If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer desire our service, you may correct, update or delete it when you place another order on the site or logging into your account via the “My Account” area and make adjustments to your personal information online

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We make every effort to minimize the amount of email correspondence you receive from us.
