Security
All ordering which takes place within this Web site is conducted on a secure (SSL) server with 128-Bit encryption to protect your ordering information. Your order is processed by our shopping cart system which encrypts your order before transmitting it to us. Once we receive your order our staff can only decrypt your order if they have the correct access controls to use the decryption system. This ensures that ordering is secure from the customer entering their credit card information to The Supplies Shop sales team processing the order.
If
you have any questions/comments about privacy,
you should email
us.
