* SECURITY

Metal Portraits is extremely concerned with the security and safety of ordering on our site. It is important to our success because we understand our customers need to feel secure about shopping on the internet. We respect your privacy and would never expose you to the inconsiderate people who choose to spam. Our policy is to never sell, display, or compromise our customers email addresses.

Our secure ordering pages have a lock symbol on the page and will have an "s" after the http in the URL (i.e.- https://www.metalportraits.com). This "s" stands for secure (Secure Socket Layer - SSL protocol transmission). Look for these symbols at check-out time when you enter your payment options.

Any information you enter on our secure pages is transmitted to us in a very strongly encrypted (scrambled) manner. When you consider this, it seems more secure then having someone look over your shoulder at the local mall or getting your information by telephone. Metal Portraits will never send your credit card information through e-mail or any other insecure connection.

Metal Portraits does not store credit card information on local servers.

Metal Portraits will never sell your personal information (name, address, phone or email) to any third party agency or vendor.
