What is an SSL Certificate?

At its most basic, an SSL Certificate is a piece of software that encrypts all information moving to and from the Certificate holder’s website. This means no exchange between the website and its visitors canbe intentionally or accidentally “overheard” by a third party, regardless of whether the visitor is placingan order or just signing up for a newsletter.

When you enter our Premium SSL certified website you can look for “https” prefix or a green address bar as shown in the picture, which means your information is safe when submitted to our SSL Certified website.

Once you have completed your order online, our security procedures do not end. We take appropriate precautions to protect the security and privacy of the information stored on our computer networks. Our systems are also housed in secure facilities, and access to your data by our employees is limited to a "need to know" basis, controlled by password-protected systems, and monitored for abuse.
