Privacy Policy

At CerTek Software Designs, accessible from certek.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains the types of information that is collected and recorded by CerTek and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regard to the information that they shared and/or collect on certek.com. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website. Our Privacy Policy was created with the help of the Free Privacy Policy Generator.

We use the information we collect on our site to better understand your needs and enhance your overall shopping experience. We will not sell, trade, or rent any personally identifiable information to others.

Safe Shopping Guarantee

When using our website, sensitive information such as credit card numbers and personalized pricing is never sent “in the clear” over the Internet. Any time that we ask for a credit card number or other sensitive information, we ensure that the information is sent to our server in a secure, encrypted format, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted.

We use state-of-the-art industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. The secure servers are based on 128-bit encryption, the highest level of security in commercial use.

If your browser does not support SSL encryption, or if you’d just prefer not to enter your credit card information online, you can call us and give us the information over the phone.
