The security measures we take to protect your personal information
Something Fine uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to maintain the confidentiality of the personal information we collect online. Our website and servers are protected using standard industry practice. We review and update web security and security procedures regularly.

Personal information you provide to us when registering on the website or when placing orders through the website is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a widely used coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt or scramble data before you send it to us. Registrations and purchases will not be permitted if your browser does not accept SSL encryption. Only authorized personnel from Something Fine and its service providers can decode this information and such personnel will only do so in accordance with our or their Privacy Policy.

You may also have choices to limit third party access to your personal information. When you register for certain online services, you may have the opportunity to restrict third party access to personal information you disclose as part of such online service. For instance, if you register for online registry, you may select whether you wish to make your online registry available to your guests via a password. If you do not elect to make your registry available only via password (or if you create a registry that does not provide this option), anyone visiting our website will be able to search for your registry or other online services by using first and/or last names and wedding dates (and on some pages, city or state).

Despite the security measures we take to protect your information, please be aware that the security of communications sent over the Internet, including e-mail, is subject to many factors outside of Something Fine’s control and that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Something Fine does not guarantee that the personal information you submit to us will be free from unauthorized third-party intrusion.
