5. Security
The NWA takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit your information via the website, it is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect your information (e.g. order placement), it is encrypted and transmitted to our third party payment provider, Wix Payments, in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
While we use encryption to protect your information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store identifiable information are kept secure. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of the user's information under our control.
The company also uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private communications to build users' trust and confidence in the website by providing simple and secure access and communication of credit card and information.
