About Security

Natural Techniques - Security - we use 128 bit encryption!

To ensure your privacy, we encrypt all order information through the use of secured sockets. This is a protocol between your computer and ours that prevents unauthorized users from viewing your information. Both your order and credit card information are encrypted. We use Apache SSL* technology over plus36.safe-order.net to provide 100 percent shopper privacy.

You will notice that if you go to a page that has external links to a site outside of this Domain that you have a mixture of secure and insecure item on a page, such as External Links or happen upon a page that has a banner on it for an external site.

Our secure site for orders has the encryption turned on, when you go to our secure site to place an order it is not a choice, On these pages that you are currently viewing encryption is not as much of a necessity and the choice is yours. But when you place an order with us, that part of the site is always encrypted.

An Authentic Site provides site visitors with the assurance that:

The site you are visiting is real (i.e. you are not being "spoofed") since the company name and web site address on the Digital ID have been confirmed. Data exchanged with the site is secure and encrypted when your browser establishes a secure (SSL) connection with the site. This is especially critical when sending confidential information (such as a credit card number) to the site.

How Can You Be Sure You're Visiting an Authentic Site?

The only way to be sure of a web site's authenticity is to view the site's Digital IDSM. Viewing a site's Digital ID assures that you are not being "spoofed" (i.e. the site is real and not an imposter) since it contains:

The name of the company which owns the web site (e.g. Visa)
The site's authorized Internet address (e.g. www.visa.com)
The name of the Secure Server Certification Authority

Please take a moment to view this site's Digital ID by following these simple steps, depending on your current web browser:

Microsoft Internet Explorer TM

Look for the "secure session" icon, which displays as a locked padlock in the lower right-hand corner of your screen. The page your are currently viewing should display the padlock; you can only view a site's Digital ID when you have a secure connection.

From the File menu, select Properties, then click on the Security tab to bring up the details of the site's Digital ID.

Netscape Navigator TM

Look for Netscape's "secure session" icon which displays as a solid gold key in the lower-left hand corner and a solid blue line across the top of the window (Navigator 3.0 or earlier), or as a locked padlock in the lower left-hand corner and on the Security button on the top navigation bar (Navigator 4.0 or later). The page you are currently viewing should display the secure icon; you can only view a site's Digital ID when you have a secure connection.

From the View menu, select Document Info or Page Info to bring up the details of the site's Digital ID.

By checking the details of the Digital ID (the name of the site owner, site address, and Certification Authority), you can be assured that the site you are visiting is indeed an Authentic Site.
