Payments & Security Information

For our eyes only

We fight potential security threats with a technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL verifies that the party receiving your information is who it claims to be. This technology also encrypts your information before it is sent to us, making it virtually impossible for anyone other than ShopTheGemGarden.com to read it.

When in your shopping cart, or other pages containing personal information, a lock or key symbol will appear somewhere near the bottom of your browser window - indicating that SSL encryption is activated.The "http" in the web address will also be replaced by "https" - where the "s" indicates security.

Cookies

Cookies enhance our ability to serve you. Basically, they're pieces of text that a website stores on your computer – an identification code of sorts. This cookie can be accessed by the website when you revisit it.

We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies terminate shortly after you terminate your internet session. Persistent cookies are stored on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted. Both types of cookies help provide an enhanced user experience since they recall your use of the Internet and our services, shopping preferences, shopping cart information, and your password.

We understand that not everyone wants to permit the use of cookies. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies and how to disable cookies, but we recommend that you leave cookies turned on so that you can take full advantage of the shopping features we offer.

CERTIFIED SECURITY

The security of your personal information is important to us. All of your personal information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms is encrypted by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software when it is transmitted to us via the Internet to any website address beginning with https. We maintain the servers that store this information in a facility with restricted access. We also truncate your credit card number to the last four digits when we communicate with you about your order.

Please be advised that while there are always risks associated with providing personal data, whether in person, by phone or over the Internet, and no system of technology is completely safe, "tamper" or "hacker- proof", ShopTheGemGarden.com has endeavoured to take appropriate measures to prevent and minimize risks of unauthorized access to, improper use and the inaccuracy of your personal information. We use VerSign SSL Encryption with the strongest available SSL Encryption. We use authorize.net to check and authorize credit card and we ship using FedEx.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security outside our controls. If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can send us email Here
