Security & Privacy

Security

To protect and safeguard the confidentiality and security of electronically transmitted information to us, FLAXart.com has an Extended Validation Certificate with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) by GoDaddy. You may click the image above to verify the validity of our active security certificate. Using 256-bit encryption technology, SSL encrypts your credit card number, name and contact information so only we are able to decode your information. When you enter the checkout process a green bar will display in your browser's web address field with our company information, confirming our identity. We are committed to providing you a shopping environment with the highest level of security available.

However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to our website, and you do so at your own risk. We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to log off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.
