Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. www.DarnGoodCovers.com utilizes a SSL certificate to encrypt data and keep it safe.

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, a global standard security technology that enables encrypted communication between a web browser and a web server. It is utilized by millions of online businesses and individuals to decrease the risk of sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers, usernames, passwords, emails, etc.) from being stolen or tampered with by hackers and identity thieves. In essence, SSL allows for a private “conversation” just between the two intended parties.

To create this secure connection, an SSL certificate (also referred to as a “digital certificate”) is installed on a web server and serves two functions:

  1. It authenticates the identity of the website (this guarantees visitors that they’re not on a bogus site)
  2. It encrypts the data that’s being transmitted

All transactions that occur on www.DarnGoodCovers.com are protected by an SSL provided by GoDaddy.com.

Should we find any evidence of a data breach we will notify you within 72 hours.

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that www.DarnGoodCovers.com does not have any control over that other website. Therefore, www.DarnGoodCovers.com cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Changes To This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be available at www.darngoodcovers.com/privacy-policy/.
