Security Notice

We take the security of the information you provide us very seriously. Tusk employs the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, along with a valid digital certificate issued and validated by a major Certification Authority (Thawte/VeriSign), to assure you that you are indeed connecting to servers maintained by Tusk Ltd. and to protect the security of your online order information. SSL encrypts your order information to protect it from being intercepted as it makes its way to the Tusk servers. In addition, we apply high-level encryption to particularly sensitive information such as credit card data while it is stored for order fulfillment.

Once you enter the Cart and Checkout areas, your browser connects to the Tusk servers in a secure mode. The following things may happen to indicate that your browser is communicating securely:

• The "http://" in the web address will be replaced by "https://" (and this should always happen, no exceptions).


• You may see either a locked padlock or a key in the lower right or upper right corner of your browser window or address bar.


• Newer browsers sometimes colorize the address bar at the top of the browser window; however, this is merely an indication of an "Extended Validation" digital certificate which uses the same industry-standard SSL technology that Tusk also uses. It is not required that your address bar turn green for your connection to be considered safe.


• Occasionally you may get a message saying that some of the data being transferred to your browser was not encrypted. For the Tusk website, this includes web traffic analysis scripts and sometimes graphics or site design data. This does not affect the safety of the information being sent from you to Tusk as long as the page is being routed through a secure channel (indicated by "https://" at the beginning of the browser's address bar).

If you have any questions about our website security measures, please don't hesitate to call Customer Service at 888.GET.TUSK (888.438.8875) or email customerservice@tusk.com. You are always welcome to place an order over the phone if you prefer.
