General Summary

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. EXCEPT FOR PROVIDING NAMES TO SOME MERCHANTS _ SEE "USE OF INFORMATION" SECTION BELOW

Your credit card information is used only to process your order. 

Security 

We are committed to taking all the necessary steps to ensure the security of your information. We have put in place the appropriate physical, electronic, and organizational safeguards to protect and secure customer information. We continually review our procedures and monitor our computer network to help ensure the protection of customer data.

CertifiChecks counters security threats with a technology called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL is a set of rules followed by computers connected to the Internet. These rules include encryption, which guards against eavesdropping; data integrity, which assures that your communications aren't tampered with during transmission; and authentication, which verifies that the party actually receiving your communication is who it claims to be.

The SSL encryption technology works with:

• Netscape Navigator and Communicator (versions 2.0 and above) 

• Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 3.0 and above) 

• America Online (versions 3.0 and above)

• If you have not already done so, we recommend that you upgrade to one of the above browsers because they support the SSL technology and provide you with added security. The more recent versions of the various browsers will provide you with even better safety.

To check a site's security status, look at the site's URL in your browser window.

• An "s" added to the familiar "http" (to make "https") indicates that SSL is in effect.

• In Netscape Navigator 3.0 and earlier, the broken key symbol in the lower-left corner of your browser window becomes solid when you are in secure mode.

• In Netscape Communicator 4.0 and 4.5, the padlock symbol in the corner, usually open, is closed in secure mode.

• In Internet Explorer 4.0, a closed padlock appears when you are in secure mode.

• If you're about to send information to a site that's not using SSL, your browser will warn you first.

• SSL protects your communications during transmission. However, you must also protect yourself by dealing only with Internet companies you are certain you can trust, just as you deal only with merchants who won't share your credit card numbers with others.

The Federal Trade Commission is increasing its surveillance of Internet fraud, and the National Consumers League has created the Internet Fraud Watch, an online service for reporting frauds.
