Security

Shopping on the The FruitGuys® website is easy and we strive to ensure that your order and credit card information are safe and secure. As a result, The FruitGuys® has implemented certain physical, administrative, and technical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information you provide. As with any transmission over the Internet, however, there is always some element of risk involved in sending personal information and no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. In order to try to minimize this risk, we encrypt your personal information, including your name, credit card number, and address, using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol so that it cannot be read as it is transmitted over the Internet. SSL is considered the industry standard and is among the leading software available to encrypt online transactions. Our servers’ use of SSL works with the main browser applications available on the market. This means that you may not be able to use the SSL if you have an older version of an Internet browser that does not support secure transactions, or if your computer is located on a local area network (LAN) that uses a firewall that prohibits secure transactions. You should ensure that there is no unauthorized access to your account information by limiting access to your computer (or other device) and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. We welcome your questions, comments, and concerns about privacy. Please send us any and all feedback pertaining to privacy, or any other issue to info@fruitguys.com or write to us at: The FruitGuys
