Privacy policy

Alpha Dogs respects your privacy. Your e-mail address is completely secure. We do not sell or rent any of the personal information we gather (including your e-mail address, name, and other details) to any third parties without your consent. We will only gather, store, and use your personal information to personalize the content, services, and advertisements we provide to you based on your preferences and interests. If you have any inquiries regarding Alpha Dogs' privacy policy, please contact us via email.

Security Policy

We understand your concerns about internet security. Alpha Dogs encrypts all of your personal information, including your credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as it travels over the internet. You should feel as comfortable using your credit card online with Alpha Dogs as you do in a department store.

Ordering

Every order at Alpha Dogs is secure. All information submitted via the checkout form is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) 128-bit encryption, the highest industry standard for commercial online payment systems, used by organizations such as the FBI.

Recognizing a "Secure Area"

The standard unsecured URL address begins with "http://". When you enter a secure area, the beginning of the URL address will change to "https://"; the "s" stands for secure. Most browsers in secure mode also display a blue line along the top of the browser window.

Entering a "Secure Area"

Your computer and our server begin to communicate in a secure area, sending data back and forth in an encrypted format. Browser encryption software is quite powerful and ensures the security of this data as it is transmitted to our server. To verify that you are in a secure area, look for the padlock at the bottom right of your browser.

Credit Card Information

The credit card numbers are stored in the SQL database on the Alpha Dogs web server. All credit card information is stored as encrypted data. The information is scrambled and requires a virtual key possessed solely by authorized personnel to be accessed. A user must log in, requiring a password to access the database, which includes your order history. All communications during these sessions are encrypted again using SSL. No credit card numbers are ever sent via e-mail, due to the fact that e-mail is not secure.
