Security and Privacy

1. Positive identification,

The PENTAQ Store website is registered with site identification authorities to enable your browser to confirm the PENTAQ Store's identity before any transmission is sent. With this technology,

• the identity of our site is automatically confirmed behind the scenes prior to the transmission of any customer information requested to complete an online order
• your data reaches your intended target or your browser notifies you (prior to your sending any personal information) that the potential receiving site looks suspicious and should be avoided

2. Data encryption

If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or greater), the information you send us regarding your purchase is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted.
The PENTAQ Store utilizes industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of:

• potentially sensitive information such as your name and address
• critically sensitive information like your credit card number

If concerned only about the privacy of your credit card information, we encourage you to submit your order electronically without a credit card number and a sales representative will contact you to obtain this information.
If you are still uncomfortable with submitting your personal information via the Internet for any reason, please feel free to Contact Us over the phone or via fax to complete your order.

Help Protect Yourself

Store Security - Help Protect Yourself

If you use a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or greater) paying attention to two browser features will decrease the chances for the unintended or fraudulent use of your personal information:

1. Browser security settings.

Your browser security preference settings are your first line of defense to stopping the theft or unwanted viewing of confidential, personal information. The most popular browsers offer you the ability to receive an alert or notification if any of the following happen or are about to occur:

• changing between secure and insecure transmission modes
• receiving an invalid site identification for the site to which you are about to transmit
• sending a transmission over an "open" or unsecured connection

Check the settings of your browser security features to see all the checks that are possible and those that are currently in place.

2. Browser security signals.

The presence of security measures surrounding the entry of data on a web page is identified in two ways for you on your browser:

• the URL identifying the page will always begin with "https://" versus the normal "http://".
• a security symbol to indicate operation in a mode that supports secure transmissions
• A "closed lock" icon is present in the bottom right-hand corner of your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser screen
• An "unbroken key" icon appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Netscape Navigator browser screen

If still concerned about the security of your credit card information, we encourage you to submit your order without this information, and we will contact you to complete your order.
If not using a browser with these standard security features, or if you are still uncomfortable with submitting your personal information via the Internet for any reason, please feel free to Contact Us via phone or fax regarding your purchase.
