In order to complete your order or to satisfy your request for information, you will be asked to provide us with certain personal information. We have put safeguards in place to ensure the security and privacy of your information. These safeguards are detailed below. Security You are safe shopping online with ParrotsNow. Our secure server software is among the best available today for safe commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address so that unauthorized persons cannot access it over the Internet.

The Shopsite system does store a Cookie containing your name and address information so that your browser will remember this information if you become disconnected from the Internet or if you should come back to our site for future purchases. You may disable this function by setting your browser to not accept cookies. Secure Website Browsing In order to be sure that information transferred between your browser and the ParrotsNow server is secure, it is important to be aware of the security information available to you through your browser. Once you enter the Checkout process (when you're ready to purchase the items you have put into your Shopping Cart), your connection to our server becomes secure. To confirm this, look at the bottom of your browser window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser) you can be sure that your information is secure. You can also ensure security by checking the URL line of your browser. When you enter the secure area of our site, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https".
