Security & Privacy

Security

Ordering from The Chocolate Garden is a safe and secure process. We use industry standard technology to protect your billing and credit card information, namely, SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and S-HTTP (Secure Hypertext Transport Protocol). What all this means is that your information is encrypted as it travels over the internet to our secure server. If you think about how you normally use your credit card (e.g.: giving it to a server at a restaurant who leaves your sight for several minutes or calling a catalog company and giving it to the person who takes your order) there are much more stringent security practices in place on the internet!

Privacy

The only thing we use your personal information for is to provide you with better service. We do not sell or share your name, address, email address or any other information--with anyone. We may occasionally call a recipient to make sure their truffles arrived in perfect condition (part of our on-going quality assurance program) or update our customers via email or snail mail with news about The Garden. We may also post your comments on the website but will only identify you by first name, city and state. If you prefer we not do any of this, just let us know. Again, our only goal is to make your shopping experience with The Chocolate Garden as pleasant as possible.

As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
