    Site Security

    Will my personal information remain private and confidential?
    Yes. Your privacy and security is the primary concern. We are committed to ensuring the highest level of consumer confidence and security through responsible use and maintenance of information.

    Is my ordering information secure?
    Yes. All transactions are transferred utilizing Secure Socket Layering (SSL) technology to encrypt and protect your information from misuse, alteration, loss, or access from other Internet users as it travels through the Internet channels from your computer. The information is then passed through our secure servers and stored in our databases, which are secured even further behind "firewall" protection.

    Why does FTD require a security code for credit card purchases?
    With the purpose of providing an additional level of security to our customers, FTD® Flower Exchange requires that all customers provide their credit card security code when purchasing. This code is not part of the credit card number itself and is not stored at any time in our system. The security code is simply an added security measure intended to protect against credit card fraud. Since the security code appears exclusively on the card itself, the purchaser must actually be in possession of the card to be able to supply the number.
