If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). We use this information to fill your orders. Financial information is processed and stored through our third party payment processor. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.

We protect your information

We work to protect your personal information and your clients' information ("Data") including email address from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration by using industry-recognized security safeguards such as firewalls. Our employees and agents are trained and required to safeguard your information. Using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents for business purposes only. Additionally, we use internal and external resources to review the adequacy of our security procedures.

CRIO software runs on servers that are hosted at a highly secure data center that is closely monitored. Our backend database is encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption and our backend servers are hosted in a private network with no direct access from outside. All access to our servers is restricted by firewall. All communications between your computers and our servers are secured with the same technology used in electronic filing and electronic banking (RSA/AES 256-bit SSL/Secure Sockets layer encryption). We use a Comodo SSL Certificate and server-gated cryptography for strong encryption of all communication to and from our application services. We host our website at SOC 2 compliant data centers located in the United States of America.

We require you to enter your username and password each time you login.

These safeguards help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of Data.
