African-Dawn-Trading.com Secure Shopping Guarantee

We take your online security very seriously and guarantee that African-Dawn-Trading.com has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control. When you register to create an account, place orders, or access your shopping cart, we automatically use a secure server. African-Dawn-Trading.com safeguards all shopping transactions with the Internet standard for secure shopping, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to protect all of the information you send to this site over the Internet.

SSL uses encryption to ensure that all information shared between a customer and this site is protected from outside observation or interference. The secure server software encodes all information you input before it is sent to us. In addition, all information we collect and store is protected internally against unauthorized access. African-Dawn-Trading.com employees are trained in proper handling, treatment and protection of personal information.

You may verify that you are on a secure page in one of two ways:

1.       The website address (URL) located in your browsers address display bar will always read "https" instead of "http" when connected to a secure server (the "s" stands for secure).

2.       Most browsers will display an icon (usually a small padlock or unbroken key) while connected to a secure page.

African-Dawn-Trading.com is very serious about the security for all personal and non-personal information associated with our visitors and customers. We use the encryption process Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) to secure transmission of your order. Only those African-Dawn-Trading.com employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are allowed access. Any employee who violates our privacy and/or security policies may be subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.

To make sure you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To double-check for security, look at the URL or Location line of your browser. If you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that line should change from "http" to "https." Some browser versions and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders. If for any reason you cannot access the secure server, please feel free to place your order with us by phone at 1-866-321-5502. Our Customer Service representatives will be happy to assist you.

We also guard closely against the use of fraudulent credit cards at African Dawn Trading Company. When we receive an order, our address verification software matches the credit card number to the name, complete address and zip code of the cardholder. If there is any discrepancy the card is not charged and the customer is notified to resolve the situation.

To help ensure others will not have access to your credit card information while on our Web site, we urge you to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.
