Privacy and Security  

Privacy Policy

GardenScribe respects the privacy of its customers. We do not sell your name, e-mail address, phone number, or any other personal information to anyone.


Credit Card Security

Our shopping cart is SSL Certified which means that a secure connection is established between your browser and our website. Your credit card information, e-mail address and other personal data is encrypted which prevents outsiders from accessing your sensitive information. When you're ready to finalize your purchase you will begin the Check Out process. At that point you will see a padlock icon appear at the bottom of your browser window and the URL at the top of your browser will change from http:// to https://.  The "s" tells you that you have a secure connection. To ensure an accurate and safe transaction our credit card processor is PCI DSS compliant. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) are data security requirements developed by the major credit card brands.


AVS Verification

To protect you from fraud, we use the AVS (Address Verification Service) to verify your credit card information. AVS is a system designed by bankcard processors to aid in the detection of suspicious credit card transaction activity. For a transaction, AVS matches billing address information provided by the cardholder with the cardholder’s billing address on file at the credit card issuing bank. If two don't match, the card is declined.
