Our Commitment to Data Security
Sparkfactor wants to ensure the security of your personal and financial information while shopping on our web site. Please be aware that no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure, but for this reason we employ strong security measures to protect your personal information to the greatest possible extent. SSL is a set of rules followed by computers connected to the Internet. These rules include encryption, which guards against eavesdropping; data integrity, which assures that your communications aren’t tampered with during transmission; and authentication, which verifies that the party actually receiving your communication is who they are claimed to be. In addition to our SSL technology, we urge you to close your browser window after shopping online to ensure you are logged out of your visit and/or online account. This is especially important when you are sharing a computer, or using a computer with public access.
