We always use industry standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving any data that you exchange with our site. We employ the same industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology that is used by major banks and stock brokerage firms to conduct business via the Internet. This encryption procedure “scrambles” the information you send us and makes online transactions extremely safe.

Sensitive information, such as financial information, will only be collected through secure web pages. Most browsers will display a green “padlock” icon indicating you are browsing on a secure page.

We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you via this site.

For complete details, please see our Safe Shopping Promise.

If it comes to our attention that we have unknowingly collected information from a child under the age of 16, we will take all reasonable measures to delete it as soon as possible and will not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law).

DigiCert Authentic Site

Authentic Sites like microcenter.com use a DigiCert Secure Server Digital ID to offer proof of identity, to enable secure communications and to encrypt translations with site visitors through their web browser connections. The only way to be sure of a web site’s authenticity is to view the site’s Digital ID. Viewing a site’s ID assures that you are not being “spoofed” (i.e. the site is real and not an impostor) since it contains:

  • The name of the company which owns the web site (e.g. LABUM LLC)
  • The site’s registered Internet address (e.g. www.microcenter.com)
  • The name of the Secure Server Certification Authority under which DigiCert issued the Digital ID (RSA Data Security or DigiCert)
