SECURITY STATEMENT

Douglas Pell Silverware has taken every step possible to ensure that any data transmitted by our website users cannot be intercepted, viewed, or blocked by any unauthorized parties. We also have policies telling our users how we use/store your information within our company, information such as address information and credit cards. Please see our Privacy Statement below for further information on use of your personal information. Douglas Pell Silverware ensures the security of protected data transmitted to and from our site through a server-based encryption technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). As you enter personal information (such as a password, address or phone number, or even your credit card number), SSL technology encodes it so it is available only to you and silvershopgifts.com. This security is industry standard and protects you from impostors, that might otherwise access your information as it travels across the internet. With this secure technology, you can send your credit card number to us without the risk of it being intercepted. SSL security makes shopping over the Internet safer than shopping by telephone.
