Guidelines to Keep Your Information Safe and Secure
As many of you know, Sunrider has made our website Shop Online available to customers and IBOs for 10 years. We have always taken steps to protect your personal data, including credit card information, by using the latest in consumer protection technology, including VeriSign encryption technology and website scanning. We have also incorporated additional internal measures and increased monitoring to insure that your personal and credit card information is safe.
Although we take as many precautions as possible to protect your information, you should also take measures on your own on a frequent basis to ensure that your computer and account information are safe:
- Check your credit card statements frequently or after each purchase;
- Call your bank and inquire if there has been any suspicious activity;
- Do not save passwords or credit card information on your web browser or online accounts;
- Do not use obvious passwords like your birth date, your mother’s maiden name, or the last four digits of your Social Security number;
- Keep your personal information in a secure place at home;
- Purchase and keep your firewalls, anti-spyware, and anti-virus software on and up to date and perform scans frequently;
- Never click on links sent to unsolicited emails;
- Purchase identity theft protection;
- Shred all bills or documents containing personal information;
- Do not give your personal information or credit card numbers to unverified people over the phone, through mail, or over the Internet;
- Protect your Social Security Number; don’t carry it in your wallet or write it on checks.
If you suspect that your information has been compromised or that identity theft has occurred, you should take the following steps: place a Fraud Alert on credit accounts, close all accounts, file a police report, and file an Identity Theft Report at ftc.gov/idtheft.
It is unfortunate that in these difficult economic times people will commit the crime of Identity Theft. Please be safe and check your credit card activity frequently.
