Privacy Statement |
|
The I.T. Workshop has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: http://www.itworkshop.com.
The I.T. Workshop takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
Our site employs the use of cookies for accurate handling of your shopping cart. All contact information will be strictly protected and used solely for the purpose of processing your order to directly serve you. Personal Information Disclosure
The I.T. Workshop will not give or sell any information regarding you or your order and the products you purchase to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent. Information you provide relating to warranties, licensing, registration, and support will only be shared with the appropriate manufacturer or business entity. Third-Party Sites
This site contains links to other sites. The I.T. Workshop is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. All account information you use or supply on The I.T. Workshop's website when ordering or tracking products is secure. We use advanced encryption technology to protect you from unauthorized use of information supplied on our website. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an industry standard security protocol used to encode sensitive information such as credit card numbers that pass between your personal computer and The I.T. Workshop's e-Commerce site. SSL works by creating a temporary shared "key" or session that lets only the computers on either end of a transmission scramble and unscramble information. The SSL transmission is indecipherable by any individuals or servers that relay the message between the sender and the receiver. When your web browser enters The I.T. Workshop's secure website, our server hosting the site acknowledges your web browser with a "server hello." In return, your browser responds with a "client hello." This communication allows for the browser and server to determine the level of encryption they both support and will use. Once "hellos" are exchanged, your browser will ask for The I.T. Workshop's "digital certificate." The certificate acts as our "commerce ID" to ensure you that the transactions are between you and The I.T. Workshop. Companies receive digital certificates from a Certificate Authority that verifies a company's identification and then issues a unique certificate as proof of identity. Next the browser and the server create a "master key." This master key is a codebook that both sides use to encode and decode transmissions. Only your browser and our server share that master key which is good only for that particular session. The unique key allows your browser and our server to exchange sensitive information in a way third parties can't understand.
Once your transactions are complete and you leave our secure site, the master key you once held with the server becomes useless. When you reenter the secure site, the hello, digital certificate and master key process start over again. |
