No purchase without phone number ?

[Erik Rutins]

Arkady,

I probably shouldn't tell you that all of this information is gathered by the vast majority of online stores and websites. First, when you place an order, we need the information to verify the order and make sure we will be paid for it. That's 99% of the reason for gathering it. The rest is for stuff like automatically setting the currency, language and shipment location for physical orders.

All order-related information is kept completely secure. We made sure they had top notch security before partnering with them on this new store.

Regards,

- Erik
