Security and Privacy
Solid security and complete privacy are major concerns of Internet shoppers. Users like
you want to be assured that the information they provide online is secure and will be kept
in confidence. We use several layers of robust security technology to help ensure the
confidentiality of transactions across the Internet.
Security
This web site provides a secure environment for registration and transactions.
The EyeMedContacts' site does require a browser that supports 128-bit encryption
technology (see below).
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer provide secure browser capability that
ensures that the dialogue between your PC and our Secure Web Server remains confidential
and cannot be deciphered by possible "eavesdropping" on the Internet. EyeMedContacts.com
utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. You can identify that you are in an SSL
session by the "locked" padlock icon at the bottom of your browser screen (or an unbroken
key for older versions of the browsers).
What is 128-bit encryption technology? Encryption scrambles all information
between your computer and our servers and 128-bit encryption guarantees a high level of
security, privacy and confidentiality.
This web site is secured using a Thawte Digital Certificate. This ensures that all
information you send to us via the World Wide Web will be encrypted. If any other internet
user intercepts the communication he/she will only be able to see it in an encrypted
(garbled) form. Certificate technology allows us to decrypt the information, and view it in
plain text form. For more information on SSL digital certificates for web servers please see
http://www.thawte.com/html/RETAIL/ssl/index.html.
We take security very seriously. As an additional safeguard, all orders and personal
information can only be accessed by authorized employees.
Privacy
EyeMed Vision Care and our suppliers for EyeMedContacts.com take your privacy very
seriously. Your personal information will never be released to anyone beyond those
required to execute your order.
