Safe Shopping
Splurgd makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that personal information collected from you is protected against loss and unauthorized access.

Our transactional Web Sites use secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption for securing communications and transactions across the Internet.

Data transmitted over an SSL connection cannot be tampered with or forged without the two parties becoming immediately aware of the tampering. While we implement the above security measures, you should be aware that 100% security is not possible and Splurgd disclaims any liability should an unauthorized breach occur.
