ONLINE SECURITY

We are dedicated to our customers' security and privacy. All credit card transactions with our company are processed only by us directly. We do not automatically charge your credit card at the time of purchase. When your order is placed, your personal information is immediately encoded with a high level security algorithm on our secure server. Your information is then permanently removed from our server and transferred to a stand alone physically secure computer system. There is no outside access to this system. At the time of order shipment, your credit card is processed manually through our own proprietary credit card processing service. We verify your credit card transaction against your name, billing address, and CVV number with the card issuing bank to eliminate fraudulent transactions. If a transaction appears suspicious, we will call you to verify your order. We do not use any third party credit card processors. It is a common practice of some third party credit card processors to sell or share your customer information for the purpose of further solicitations. This will never happen with Craig Medical Distribution. Under no circumstances do we ever sell or share your purchase information with any third party for the purpose of solicitation.

NOTE: Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
