Privacy and Security Update

Our foremost concern is your privacy and security while browsing our site. We’ve been mindful throughout the development process of this new site as to how we approach these issues and want to explain a little more about what we’ve done in the post below. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time with any questions about how your data is used or what security measures are in place to provide you with a safe and convenient experience on our site.

Privacy

Royal New York has developed a comprehensive privacy policy. We encourage you to read and understand it. Any changes to this policy will be explained in a post very much like this one, with an email through our normal newsletter alerting you to such as posting.

Security

Our site uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to secure your information as it travels to and from our servers. You’ll notice that the URL in your address bar starts with “https://” which indicates a secure, encrypted link is present between your device and our server. SSL is an industry standard, and is used by millions of websites around the world.

Regular HTTP connections transfer “plain text” data, which can be read by those outside of the connection. When data is transferred by a HTTPS connection, the SSL protocol encrypts the data so that it remains secure throughout the transmission.

The video below is an excellent resource for understanding what an SSL is and what it does.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Moving forward

We’ll continue to provide updates to our security and privacy policies and welcome any questions or comments you may have. If you’d like to discuss the topic more, please feel free to email coffee@royalny.com.
