NetCarats' Privacy Policy

NetCarats wants to assure our visitors and customers that shopping at NetCarats is safe, secure, and private. The security and privacy of your information is our primary concern, and we take the task of securing your information very seriously.

Secure Shopping

We have taken every effort to secure your online information by utilizing SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology, as well as internal encrypting and web technologies. To check for SSL security, look for the yellow padlock icon in the bottom right corner of your computer screen. Click on the icon to view the SSL security certificate. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. In a secure environment, the characters "http" on your site address will change to "https".  

If for some reason (such as browser settings, firewalls) you are unable to access a secure server, please place your order over the phone by contacting us at 1-866-387-4134 or 952-486-7730.

As a policy, NetCarats will not sell, trade or rent your personally identifiable information to third-parties.
