Data Security Policy

The importance of security for all personally-identifiable information associated with visitors to the Website—as well as EcoGeek customer information, such as cell phone numbers, email, addresses, and other account data—is of utmost concern to EcoGeek, and we have implemented, and periodically review, certain physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help prevent unauthorized access and maintain data security. Your personal information is always safe. Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including name and address. Unfortunately, due to the open nature of Internet communications, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure, and thus we cannot guarantee that communications between you and EcoGeek will be free from unauthorized access. Visitors of the Website and EcoGeek customers use the Website at their own risk.
