Our Privacy Policy

Privacy is precious. We respect yours. We want you to know that the information you provide to us will never be divulged, sold, or shared with anyone, for any reason. Period.

Our Security Procedures

Security Confirmation - When you place an order, we'll send you an automated email confirming the order. This will not only keep you informed of your order's progress, but will also alert you if someone is using your account or computer without your permission. If you receive a confirmation for an order you did not place, please email us immediately at orders@peekskillnurseries.com

The Most Powerful Encryption on the Internet - All the experts agree: If a vendor takes standard security precautions, transferring private information over the Internet is actually safer than handing your credit card to a waiter or checkout clerk.

We make full use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology supported by the vast majority of browsers on the Internet. This technology represents the highest level of security available on the Internet and automatically:

• Encrypts information while traveling over the Internet
• Verifies the identity of the server using a certificate and digital signature
• Verifies that the original content of a message arrives at a destination.

The following is an excerpt from Americart's (our shopping cart provider) FAQ page.

CREDIT CARD SECURITY

Q:
You say you offer "secure server" for credit card security. What does that mean and how does it work?

A:
The goal of Americart security is to achieve one thing: To deliver credit card information from the customer to the merchant with the minimum possibility of exposure to prying eyes. Our primary tool for this is the utilization of secure data encryption. We encrypt the information between you and the cart, and then the merchant retrieves credit card information the same way. Although orders are emailed to the merchant in the clear, we strip off the last six digits of the credit card number, which the merchant then retrieves through their secure browser, thus completing the secure path.

Q:
What about security on your server?

A:
All computers connected to the internet are theoretically vulnerable to break in, and ours is no exception. Assuming we do have a security breach, a hacker wouldn't find much on our system. We only store the last six digits of card numbers which wouldn't help them at all. The first digits are "piped" straight out to mail, and never written to disk at all.
