At www.portraitsbyjulie.co.uk, your privacy is our priority. We are committed to protecting your details at all times, in all situations. The information we collect about you when you become a customer is used to process your orders and to provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Any information sent to us is encrypted (scrambled) using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This is industry standard encryption technology that protects your data whilst being sent over the internet from being intercepted and misused by third parties. When it reaches us, we then store it on a secure server so that it can only be read by authorised personnel. Although we make every effort to create a secure environment for your personal information, Julie Hodgson cannot guarantee the safety of any personal information you transmit to Julie Hodgson online.
We will not ask you for your Julie Hodgson identification and authentication passwords in an unsolicited phone call or unsolicited email. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and you should not disclose them to anyone (unless you wish to authorise them to access your account and incur charges on your account).
