Purdon's respects an individual's right to a safe and secure shopping experience

When you submit sensitive information through our website, that information is protected. We use a security key and SSL encryption, provided by GeoTrust^TM, an Equifax^TM Company, to secure all transactions. To verify that our security key is valid, click the GeoTrust seal to the right.

How can I tell if my transaction is secure?

Whenever entering sensitive personal information (such as credit card numbers) at any website, make sure that the website encrypts the information you send to, and receive from it. When you shop at purdonrental.com your order is secured through the use of a security key and SSL encryption, the most common web site security method in use today. You can check if the website you are using has this type of security in two ways. At the point of transmitting sensitive information, check to make sure the URL begins with "https" rather than "http". Look for a lock icon on the bottom left or bottom right of your browser, which should look like the diagram to the left. A good web site will only present secure pages as needed to encrypt sensitive data, and you should not be alarmed if most of your visit to a site is spent on unsecured pages.

What about off-line security?

While we use our security key and SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect your information off-line. All user information is restricted in our offices, not just the sensitive information to which we refer above. Only employees who need the information to perform their job (for example, a shipping and receiving clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to that information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on Purdon's security and privacy practices. Our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place upon security and privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected.

Finally, the servers where we store personal information are kept in a protected environment, with multiple, redundant security features. To learn more about our host provider Hostway's security features, click here.
