Effective Date: October 2026

GVS is dedicated to handling your private data with care. Please contact us at 573-378-2000 or via our contact page with questions, concerns, or requests regarding this policy or your personal data. Terms of this policy may change. Please review periodically.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION

We recognize that shopping on our website involves trust, and we are committed to keeping that trust. However, account privacy is a two-way street. Protect your account by protecting your password. If you feel your password has been compromised, contact us as soon as possible. Any personal information collected is confidential and will never be sold. Payment data submitted to this site is processed immediately by an authorized third-party payment card processing company; payment card numbers are not transmitted to or stored on systems at our headquarters. In visiting this site, you agree to the terms of this privacy policy.

VOLUNTARY INFORMATION & DATA CHOICES

GVS collects personally identifiable information (“PII”) that you voluntarily provide on this site. PII is also collected from phone calls, faxes, and emails we receive from you. For example, your name, physical address, email address, and phone number is information that we use to identify you and your account. This information is used to process your orders, fulfill information requests, and maintain customer accounts. This information is shared only with third parties (such as USPS, SpeeDee, UPS, FedEx, or freight carriers) necessary to facilitate order fulfillment. This information is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. You may contact us at 573-378-2000 at any time to verify, update, or request removal of your account information.

AUTOMATICALLY GATHERED INFORMATION & COOKIES

Some of your browser communication with our site, such as your IP address, browser type, and session cookies, is recorded to facilitate navigation, remember your cart session, and analyze general site traffic. Cookies are not executable programs and cannot perform any functions or execute operations on your computer. Cookies simply contain reference data. If you set your browser to block cookies, some portions or functions of our site (such as online checkout) may not work properly.

THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION

Your customer profile may be updated with information gathered from reliable third-party sources; for example, an address change notice we receive from the United States Postal Service.

ENCRYPTION & SECURITY

This site uses industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) encryption during transmission to protect your personal and transactional information.

RESPONSIBILITY & MINORS

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for orders placed on your account. Due to a minor’s inability to enter a legally binding contract with us, GVS does not sell directly to minors. If you are under the age of 18, you may not purchase through our website without the active involvement of a parent or guardian.
