The security measures we take for the protection of your personal information All order information you provide to us and all information contained in your "Registry Account" is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption.

Transactions will not be permitted if your browser does not accept SSL encryption. Only authorized personnel from Lovegevity.com or its partners can decode this information and such personnel will only do so in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In addition, to attempt to deter the theft of credit card numbers and other personal information residing in our system, we and our retail partners have installed secure "firewalls" and/or have implemented other security measures to help protect our systems against "hacker" break-ins. Additionally, all credit card numbers are encrypted in our system until either the customer or Lovegevity.com requires the information.
In addition, when you register for certain online bridal registries or other Website features, you will have the opportunity (depending on which partner you are registering with) to select whether you wish to make your online registry available to your guests via a password. If you do not elect to make your bridal registry or other Wedding Website features available only via password (or if you create a registry with a partner that does not provide this option), anyone visiting our website will be able to search for your registry or other Wedding Website features by using first and/or last names and wedding dates (and on some pages, city or state).
