Your Order Information is Secure
The Vermont Teddy Bear Company understands your concerns about Internet security.
We make every effort to protect your personal information, by employing servers
which support industry-standard 128-bit SSL encryption. Here's how it works:
SSL encryption is active in all areas where customer information is requested.
You can check to see that you have entered an SSL-active area by looking on the
bottom of your screen. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on
your browser), you will know that SSL technology is in place and ready to encrypt
your information.
You'll see a key (Netscape) or a closed lock (Safari, Firefox, AOL, Explorer).
You can also check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When you are in an
SSL-active area, the first letters of our website address will change from "http:"
to "https:" (the 's' stands for 'secure').
When you place your order with us online, your information is transmitted across
the Internet in an encrypted (scrambled) form, which is then decoded when it gets
to us.
The Vermont Teddy Bear Company is committed to using customer information responsibly.
We want you to feel comfortable placing your Bear-Gram® order online. If you have
any additional questions or comments regarding our secure technology, please contact
us.
