We take your concerns for privacy and security very seriously. We hate spam as much you do. We are committed to making bamboocloset.com a safe and secure shopping haven (if not, heaven). We’d like you to know what information we collect and how we use the information and what measures we take to ensure your privacy and security.

Bamboocloset shall not be held liable and you agree to hold Bamboocloset free and harmless from any damage suffered by you as a result or in connection with the provision of your billing and financial information to such third-party intermediaries. We use information which you voluntarily provide to process and fulfill your order.
