Security

Why can you trust your visit and shopping on our website?

Our NW Gems & Diamonds website has received the stamp of approval from McAfee, the world’s leading internet security firm. This site features the coveted McAfee SECURE™ trustmark, a sign of premium security and proof that the site has undergone and withstood a high level of security checking. The McAfee SECURE™ trustmark only appears when a website has passed McAfee’s intensive, daily security scan. The security firm tests for possible personal information access, links to dangerous sites, phishing, viruses, malware and other online malicious threats. With the trustmark, the site has been deemed as “all clear” and safe, leaving you free to use our website and service with complete confidence. NW Gems & Diamonds is proud to feature the McAfee trustmark and will continue to operate a Zero Tolerance policy on breaches in internet security.

Why make payments through PayPal or credit card?

We use Paypal and Shopify Payments Powered by Stripe as payment options because PayPal and Shopify Payments Powered by Stripe are highly secure, using industry-leading technology (such as SSL) to keep your information safe. NO credit card or bank account information is stored on this website or our server.

PayPal and Shopify Payments Powered by Stripe automatically encrypt your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). In fact, before you even register or log in to the PayPal site, the server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Once your information reaches the site, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. The servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers.
