This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line. Deer Fence Canada Inc.does not retain credit card information. If you are emailing us about anything please do not email credit card information.
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Safari, Firefox,Google Chrome, and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just surfing.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. If you pay for an order online via credit card, Deer Fence Canada Inc. does not see any of the details on your credit card. This imformation is transmitted securely to the credit card processing company.Only on telephone orders are employees of Deer Fence Canada Inc. able to have access to credit card information specifically given to them over the telephone by customers. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Credit Card information communicated over the telephone is held for one month while the order is fullfilled and then the information is shredded. We do not store credit card information at our location unless specifically requested by customers who wish to expedite repaet orders by phone.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, in a locked facility.
