APPLEPALACE.COM SECURITY AND PRIVACY POLICY

Security

To guard against credit card fraud, we offer secure online ordering using the latest Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. The connection between your browser and our servers is encrypted with industry-standard SSL technology, which scrambles ordering information so that only your browser and our servers can decipher it. To use this option you must have a browser that supports SSL, such as later versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.

If your browser does not support SSL, or if you are unable to establish a secure connection due to a company firewall, please call us at (310)441-4769 to place your order by phone.
