Beingjohnashford.com (referred to hereinafter as “the website”) is not configured to collect any personal information from your computer when browsing the website. This means that, unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide us with personal information, we will not know your name, your e-mail address, or any other information identifiable to you.
Information Needed to Execute the Transaction You Request
If we need to collect information from you, we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information we need. For example, if you would like to make a purchase, we will ask you for information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card type, credit card number, expiration date to process your request. We may use your e-mail address to send a confirmation and, if necessary, might use the other information to contact you for help to process your request. Providing this information is voluntary and it is used only for the purpose for which the information was collected and is not used for direct marketing or shared with other companies.
Securing the Transmission
When we ask you for personal data, including your name, address and credit card data, it may or may not be transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line provided you are using a SSL enabled browser. If the information is transferred over SSL, it is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer. You will know you are in secure mode when the padlock icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from “http” to “https.”

Security/How Your Personally Identifiable Information Is Protected
Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to attempt to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access and improper use. We also protect your personally identifiable information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. We continually review all such measures and update them when appropriate. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Company cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information to Company, you accept that you do so at your own risk.
