Caravan Beads takes every reasonable precaution to protect your information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, that information is protected both online and in our office. We provide the use of a secure server, which is compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI). The secure socket layer (SSL) protocol encrypts the information you input before it is sent to the web server. We then retrieve all orders using an encrypted connection, ensuring the safety of your personal and credit card information.
Technical safeguards are in place to minimize the disclosure of sensitive and private user information. We also limit staff access and their ability to enter or view information in the website. No data transmission over the Internet and no data storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its security.
