We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology - the highest standard in online encryption technology - to ensure that your information remains secure. You can tell that our checkout is secure by https:// in the address bar, and by looking for a little lock on the bottom right of your browser. SSL encrypts all of your personal information so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. SSL encryption allows you to shop with confidence, knowing that only you and Sid Dickens Inc. have the ability to access your information.
Email transmitted from the online forms on siddickens.com is protected using PGP encryption. PGP encryption offers digital signatures to prevent or detect tampering with, interception or forgery of messages. PGP is a powerful cryptographic product family that enables people to securely exchange messages with both privacy and strong authentication. Privacy means that only the intended recipient of a message can read it. By providing the ability to encrypt messages, PGP provides protection against anyone eavesdropping on the network. Even if the information is intercepted, it is completely unreadable to the snooper. Authentication identifies the origin of the information, certifying that it is authentic and that it has not been altered. For further information about PGP, visit their website at http://www.pgp.com.
