Privacy Policy
The following is a comprehensive summary of the Association's privacy policy and terms of use. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us using the form linked here.
Encryption Technology
To make all of your information unreadable to a third party, we have implemented numerous security measures, including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology. You can verify that your transmissions are encrypted by looking in the lower left corner of Netscape 3.0 (gold key should be connected and background highlighted) or Netscape 4.0 / Internet Explorer (padlock should be in locked position, not open position).
Privacy
At PHPA.com, we respect your right to confidentiality, and are committed to protecting your privacy. The information we gather on our website is used to process your order efficiently and effectively, and to determine the products and services that will be of most value to you. Please read on for more details about our privacy policy.
Personal Information
For security reasons, no personal information is stored on PHPA.com web servers. All personal information is stored on a separate and secure database server that is protected by state-of-the-art firewall technology. When making a purchase, we ask you to provide information by filling out and submitting an on-line form that may include personal information. For purchases, this may include your credit card information, which is strictly limited in use to processing your order. While providing this information online is secure (see Encryption Technology, above), doing so is voluntary, and you may choose to order by mail (see addresses listed above) or fax (1-905-682-4822) if you are still uncomfortable.
Note To Parents
At PHPA.com we are aware that many children may want to visit us on the Internet. Although we welcome browsing, we encourage children to receive permission from their parents before submitting any personal information over the Internet. PHPA.com believes parents should be responsible for supervising the online activities of their children and taking into account various tools that allow them to provide their children with a controlled, child-friendly Internet. These tools are designed to preclude children from releasing personal information online without the permission of their parents.
