Information provided to Forever In Stitches,
LLC, is not sold, traded, or supplied to others. In order to help assure this privacy, Forever In Stitches, LLC does
employ an encryption service for access to the on-line store.
Forms filled out on the web-page is sent via e-mail to our
personnel. E-mails are also sent from the site to our personnel. E-mails in general have low security and should not contain
a complete/completing set of identifying information [name, address, phone, driver's license, Social Security number, maiden
names, etc.], credit card information, or bank transfer information as e-mails are able to be intercepted.
The on-line shop is secure and encrypted.
It could be considered as safe as or safer than normal in-store credit card transactions.
However, as with all processing of information,
others do have access to the data in it's encrypted and unencrypted form. For example, the firm hosting this site; the credit
card companies, and the phone and cable companies transmitting the information. This also applied to the employees, contractors,
and subcontractors. Each of these companies has their own privacy rules and legal boundaries they must observe.
We recommend that you take prudent precautions when dealing with web-sites for purchases. For example, you must enter
credit card information for a purchase, and once your order is processed in the shop, it is deleted from the on-line store.
Also, our customer information on the web does not contain credit card or bank information, only the particular order, which
is subsequently deleted.
What Can You Do?
You will notice that when you are on our web-site the address begins with "http://" This indicates that
a transaction is not incrypted [mathmatically scrambled] and thus able to be read when intercepted by others not part of your
intended connection.
On the other hand, when you are checking out of our on-line shop the address begins with "https://".
This indicates that the transmission is incrypted and very difficult to read when intercepted inappropriately.
When doing business with web-sites, do not provide credit information without the incryption security.
