Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with our customers and visitors is of utmost concern to
us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information
from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, Scandia Home™ cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or
services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we
make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. When your credit
card information is transmitted to Scandia Home™ we use industry standard, 3.0 SSL
(secure socket layer) encryption to ensure the security of your information.
Important update about SSL Technology
Web browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari) support
SSL technology to encrypt, or encode, your personal information before it is sent over the
Internet.
SSL versions 1.0 and 2.0 found in
older browsers have known security weaknesses which could compromise your data.
To ensure you're getting the best protection available, ScandiaHome.com only
allows secure transactions with browsers using SSL version 3.0 or higher. We
recommend upgrading to the latest version of your browser software and downloading
security updates as they become available.
The following browsers do support SSL version 3.0, however, if you do not upgrade to the newest versions you may need to change your browser settings to utilize it:
* Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher (PC)
* Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher (Mac)
* Netscape 2.0 (Domestic) or higher (PC/Mac)
* Firefox 0.8 or higher (PC/Mac/Linux)
* Mozilla 1.7 or higher (PC/Mac/Linux)
* Camino 0.8 or higher (Mac)
* Safari 1.0 or higher (Mac)
* Opera 1.7 or higher (PC/Mac)
* Omniweb 3.0 or higher (Mac)
* Konqueror 2.0 or higher (Linux)
We also have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at Scandia Home® Nothwithstanding the foregoing, due to the open nature of the internet, We do not guarantee the absence of theft, hacker activity, electronic or non-electronic tampering, or computer crime, and we hereby disclaim responsibility and liability for stolen information.
