Security
Vinduvin takes every reasonable precaution to protect your information.
When you submit personal information to us, your information is protected

sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information
is protected from access by any third parties using best commercial
practices within the online industry (e.g., Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”)
technology). When such security technology is used, depending on your

the “lock” icon located at the bottom the Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer screens.
In addition to using security technology to protect sensitive information
online, Vinduvin also exercises due caution in protecting such information
off-line. Access to credit card information is restricted so that
only employees who need such information to perform a specific job
(for example, billing clerk or a customer service representative)
can view such information. Vinduvin employee’s computers are
password-protected, and all employees are kept up-to-date on Vinduvin
security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers on which Vinduvin
stores your information are kept in a secure environment and protected
from both physical and network intrusion.
