Security

What kind of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control?

DE Maritime values your business and is committed to doing everything possible to make our online ordering process secure.

Secure Ordering Process

Any information you enter on our site is strongly encrypted by industry-standard protocol SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The DE Maritime web site uses SSL to communicate with secure browsers like Firefox and Internet Explorer. These browsers encrypt your personal information in a way that makes it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept and misuse while being transmitted between your computer and our server. Don't worry if your browser is secure or not - if it is insecure, you will not be able to make purchases in our online store.

Once you have completed your order online, our security procedures do not end. We take appropriate precautions to protect the security and privacy of the information stored on our computer networks. Many of the systems which store your personal information are not connected to the Internet, reducing the likelihood of security breaches. Our systems are also housed in secure facilities, and access to your data by our employees is limited to a "need to know" basis, controlled by password protected systems, and monitored for abuse.

If you have any further question regarding your online security, please contact us by e-mailing Customer Service at:
admin@DE-Maritime.com.

Children

In accordance with United States federal law, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under age 13 without the verifiable permission of a parent or guardian. If you are under age 13, you are welcome to browse our web site. However you are not permitted to use any of the features of our site that require the collection of any personally identifiable information. If we determine that we have erroneously collected a child's information, we will immediately undertake to delete that data from our records.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
