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.
