SECURITY & PRIVACY

SECURITY AND PRIVACY

At BANNED.com, our utmost priority is ensuring that your personal and payment information is secure and your privacy is respected. Below is a description of how we maintain online security and respect your privacy. ONLINE-SECURITY Whenever you provide any order information, we use SSL technology to make sure that it is "encrypted," or, scrambled, so that no one else can read it while it is being transmitted over the Internet. If you become a member of BANNED.COM, all information (such as your name, address, and email address) is safely stored behind a firewall. We store this type of information so that you do not have to reenter it each time you make a purchase or log in to use a Your Account feature, such as the wishlist or address book.

CREDIT CARD SECURITY

No one at BANNED has access to your complete Credit Card number or CVV code information. YES thats right, not even us. The provide algorithm either approves it or declines it.  To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or Location line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https." Some browser versions and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. If for any reason you cannot access the secure server, please feel free to place your order with us by phone at 909-793-7070 Our Customer Service representatives will be happy to assist you.
