Security:

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information, such as credit card number, that information is encrypted and is protected with encryption software (128-bit SSL) provided by PayPal, Inc. which is the third-party transaction processor used by SheaNetics. While on a secure page, such as the order form, the golden lock icon on the bottom right corner of modern web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’. The SSL Secured Lock icon may also be located in the right section of the Browser’s “Address Bar” area, depending on the program being used to access the internet.
While the PayPal, Inc. online transaction processors use 128-bit SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, SheaNetics also takes further precautions to protect user-information off-line. User information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. 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. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment as above described.
