Measures We Take to Help Ensure the Safety of Your Transactions

NeedPromo.com uses an industry-standard security technology called Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL"), a protocol developed by Netscape for the secure transmission of private information over the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that are transmitted over the SSL connection. Current versions of the Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer and America Online browsers support SSL, as do other browsers, and Need Promo, LLC's Web site uses SSL when its customers transmit confidential information, such as credit card numbers. Your document is uploaded to us using the same encryption settings your browser uses when connecting to our site. Web pages that require an SSL connection generally start with "https" instead of "http, although some pages and frames within pages may be encrypted even without the https address. Your browser's help files can show you how to verify whether a particular page utilizes SSL. For more information on SSL, please visit the Netscape Web site at http://home.netscape.com/security/techbriefs/ssl.html.

Every time you place an order, a confirmation regarding your order status will be sent via email and/or provided within your Client Administration.
