Virinco uses robust security measures to protect Customer Data from unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and help ensure the appropriate use of Customer Data. When the Service is accessed using Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology protects Customer Data using both server authentication and data encryption.

Virinco also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and the Company hosts its Web sites in a secure server environment that uses firewalls and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. Because the Company uses the Service to maintain Data About Virinco Customers, this information is secured in the same manner as described above for Customer Data.
