Your right to privacy and security when dealing with us is one of our primary concerns. Store security is one of our highest priorities, and we have devoted a great deal of effort to ensure that our online security measures help to safeguard your information. Additionally, we take the privacy of the information you provide us online very seriously.
Please take a moment to read about the steps that we have taken to help protect your information and make your online transmissions safer. We also invite you to review the steps you can take to help protect yourself further.
We hope that once you understand the measures we employ to help ensure secure transactions and privacy, and the steps you can take yourself, you'll be as confident about the safety of your online transactions and reservation information as we are.
If you are using a security-enabled browser (virtually all modern browsers fall into this category), the information you send us regarding your reservation is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted.
The Different World reservation system utilizes industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of both potentially sensitive information (such as your name and address), and critically sensitive information (such as your credit card number).
An unbroken key or closed padlock icon will appear in the status bar at the bottom of most browsers to indicate that SSL security is in operation. Clicking on the icon will display the digital certificate associated with the secure connection. This certificate is intended to guarantee the identity of the remote computer to which you are sending your details.
If you are concerned about the privacy of your credit card information, we encourage you to submit your reservation online without a credit card number and a sales representative will contact you to obtain this information.
If you are not using a browser that supports these standard security features, or are uncomfortable with submitting your personal information via the Internet for any reason, please feel free to contact us over the phone or via fax to complete your reservation.
The Different World website is registered with site identification authorities to enable your browser to confirm the identity of our site before any transmission is sent. With this technology:
Please be aware that other websites, including sites that may be accessed through our site, e.g., via a hyperlink, may have different security policies in place. This Security Policy does not cover the security practices of those third-party web sites.
