We will protect your privacy by NOT sharing your email address with
anyone. When you ask a question, respond to a survey, or place an order
online, your email address will stay with us. This degree of security
means you will receive no correspondence unless it’s from us and
relates to: doing business with the University Store, to your order, or to
questions you may have asked.
Secure Online Ordering
We
have gone to great lengths to protect the security and validity of your
credit card transaction. Our order forms are encrypted by our secure
server to guarantee that the information can be read only by us. It
will appear undecipherable if the data is intercepted by an
unauthorized source.We use the process developed by Netscape—SSL
(Secure Socket Layer)—to guard information. SSL is the industry
standard for online security. Today’s web browsers support this
protocol, including Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer and
others. Before a business can use SSL, it must be certified by an
independent authority. This trusted third party will determine if the
business is legitimate.
How to Tell It’s Secure
There are a couple of ways to tell if the information you are receiving is coming from a secure server.
Check the security icon. Most browsers use a key (Netscape Navigator) or padlock (Microsoft Internet Explorer). An unbroken emblem indicates a secure browser.
Check the URL field of your browser. With a secured server the address will begin with https:// instead of the usual http://.
