Secure Shopping Topics
We use a variety of the latest security technologies, including sophisticated encryption and authentication tools to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secure networks and is only accessible to a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. When you place orders or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. We've designed the site so that these protections are automatic; there's nothing you need to do, so you can be confident while you shop that your information is secure. Regardless of these efforts, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
SECURE SOCKETS LAYER (SSL) TECHNOLOGY
kimmiecares.com uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to provide you with the safest,most secure shopping experience possible. SSL is the most widely used data encryption coding system for secure e-commerce transactions. All credit card information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be accessed only as stated above.
STORING INFORMATION BEHIND SERVER FIREWALLS
Our servers are protected by secure firewalls—communication management computers specially designed to keep information secure and inaccessible by other Internet users. So you're safe while you shop, and if you choose to store your personal information and credit card numbers with us by registering, it's always secure, and protected by your own password. (If you do not opt to register and choose a password, your account details will not be stored.)
HOW TO TELL YOUR TRANSACTIONS ARE SECURE
We've taken the guesswork out of it: if your browser software doesn't permit SSL encryption you won't be able to place an order at kimmiecares.com. Up-to-date browsers will work just fine! This limitation affects only a few older browsers and we've kept it in place for your protection. Before logging into your account, placing an item in your shopping bag, or beginning the checkout process, your browser (like Internet Explorer, for instance) may indicate that SSL is being used by displaying a popup window. You can also tell simply by looking at the URL in the address window. If you see the letters "https" in front of our URL (instead of just "http"), you'll know we're using SSL to keep your information safe. (Note: As you move around on the site, you may notice that some pages display http in the address window, instead of https. Don't worry—that just means there's no place for you to enter information on those particular pages, so there's nothing for us to encrypt. Anytime you move back to a page with forms, https will appear again. There's nothing special for you to do.)
GUARANTEE AGAINST CREDIT CARD FRAUD
Even though your account information on Internet, what happens if your credit card is lost or stolen, or if you are a victim of fraud? Under consumer protection laws, your liability is limited to $50 in cases of fraudulent charges to your credit card account. (You must notify your credit card company as outlined in your credit card agreement for this protection.) In cases of loss, theft, or fraud, if anyone uses your card for unauthorized charges, you are not liable. See your credit card company's policy.
