Security Policy

Heine Brothers' Coffee implements security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. To guard against unauthorized use, we work with third parties who have implemented the latest in internet security technology. Personal and confidential credit card information that is passed between your browser and our commerce servers is encrypted with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) system. This creates a secure connection that ensures the highest levels of confidentiality.

Any time you enter an order or provide personal information using our shopping cart (such as an account number or password), we encrypt it using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL protects information as it traverses the internet. To support this technology, you need an SSL-capable browser. We recommend using a strong encryption, 128-bit browser. These browsers will activate SSL automatically whenever you sign on to your account.

You can tell if you are visiting a secure area within a Web site by looking at the symbol on the bottom of your browser screen. In most browsers, you will see either a lock or a key. When the symbol appears unbroken or the padlock is in the locked position, your session connection is taking place via a secure server.

If you need a strong encryption browser, you can go to the Firefox site or the Microsoft Web site to download the latest Firefox or Internet Explorer browser. We do not recommend the use of beta browser versions.
