Supplemental Technologies Neebo’s website uses cookies, session identifiers, JavaScript™, and browser detection technology to provide consumers with a more pleasant online experience. Many browsers provide consumers with the ability to disable some or all of these technologies. Disabling them, especially in the case of JavaScript™, may prevent you from viewing some web pages.

Confidentiality and Security Neebo takes reasonable steps to ensure that your information is protected. On our website, we use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting your personal information. Our website is hosted in a data center which makes use of multiple levels of redundant firewalls and database encryption to protect information. Internally, we limit access to your information to those employees or agents who we believe have a reasonable need to use the information to provide products or services to you, or to perform their jobs.

Secure Online Ordering We have gone to great lengths to protect the security and validity of your credit card transaction. Our order forms are encrypted by our secure server to guarantee that the information can be read by us only. It will appear as indecipherable gibberish if the data is intercepted by an unauthorized source. We use the process developed by Mozilla-SSL (Secure Socket Layer)-to guard information. SSL is the industry standard for online security. Today's web browsers support this protocol, including Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer and others. Before a business can use SSL, it must be certified by an independent authority. This trusted third party will determine if the business is legitimate. VeriSign, one of the largest such companies in the world, certified us.


ABOUT SSL CERTIFICATES

How to Tell It's Secure There are a couple of ways to tell if the information you are receiving is coming from a secure server.

  1. Check the security icon. Most browsers use a key (Firefox) or padlock (Microsoft Internet Explorer). An unbroken emblem indicates a secure browser.
  2. Check the URL field of your browser. With a secured server the address will begin with https:// instead of the usual http://.

Notifications When your order is placed on our website we will send you an email notification. When your order status changes you may also receive notifications via email. These notifications are considered part of our service and may not be disabled. We will send the email but we cannot guarantee delivery. You are responsible for providing a valid email address and for updating it when your address changes. Neebo may, depending on the importance and urgency of the notification, choose to contact you via telephone or postal mail. When doing so, we will use the phone number and/or address associated with your account or transaction.
