Secure Transactions

Because ippie.com uses some of the most sophisticated commercially available security software, it is extremely unlikely that any personal information that you transmit to us will be misappropriated.

Secure Servers (SSL: Secure Sockets Layer, 128-bit strong encryption)

Our secure server uses advanced 128-bit encryption and firewall technology to keep your personal information private. Our secure server layer (SSL) software completely encrypts the information you input so that it cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system. We have extremely strong security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information while it is in our control.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by the browser onto your computer hard drive. There are two types of cookies, "Stored" and "Per-Session". Stored cookies are saved onto your hard drive permanently whereas session cookies are not. If our web site is left idle for over 30 minutes or if the browser is closed, the per-session cookie will be deleted as well. We use cookies to keep track of your current shopping session. Ippie.com does not use cookies to store or retrieve your personal information. By default, most web browsers have both types of cookies enabled, but these settings can be altered. To place an order on our website, per session cookies have to be enabled, but stored cookies do not.

Secure Technologies

Our site employs the latest version of Secure Socket Layer Technology (SSL) to encrypt your information and help make sure that only you and ippie.com employees ever see it. Some Web browsers and some firewalls will not permit a secure connection. If your Web browser will not permit a secure connection, you can use a standard server connection to complete your transaction, but this method is not guaranteed to be secure. Once your information reaches us, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers.

How To Tell That Your Browser Is Secure?

To check if your browser is in secure mode, check that a "lock" or a "key" icon is displayed in the lower left-hand corner of your browser window. You can also check by looking at the URL bar on top of your browser. This line will typically show the first characters as "https" when a secure connection has been established rather than "http¡± which indicates a connection that is not secured.
