For more details regarding our security protections, see the Security section below.
Under its operating authority, The NKD Group, Inc. takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect confidential information (e.g., credit card information), that information is encrypted and securely transmitted to us. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon and "https" in the URL.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. The secured data approach implemented by The NKD Group is designed to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of the user's personal information under our control.
We take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and under this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, the open architecture of the Internet prohibits a 100% secure transmission environment; hence, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for any unauthorized disclosure.
By using the Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. If we learn of a security system's breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by sending a notice through the Services or by sending an email to you.
