Is your web site secure?

Protecting the order, credit card, and personal information of our customers is one of our main priorities, and we make every effort to ensure your protection through the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology encrypts your payment and personal information to prevent the decoding of that information by anyone other than Bernie & Phyl's and our payment processor. Also, after a payment is processed, your credit card information is never stored which prevents the possibility that it could be obtained by someone hacking our site..

You can check the security of your connection by looking at the lower right-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser) then SSL is active. To double-check look at the URL line of your browser.

When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https." Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. If that is the case, you won't even be able to connect to our server, so you won't have to worry about mistakenly placing an order through an unsecured connection.

If you can't access the secure server for whatever reason, please place your order by phone or by visiting one of our Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture Showrooms.

<back to top>
Will you sell my information to others?

We do not sell your information to anyone. We do share your information with select partners for the purposes of learning more about the shopping habits of our customers so that we may improve the overall Bernie & Phyl’s shopping experience. You can find more information on how your personal information may be shared by visiting our Privacy & Security section.

<back to top>


Will you share my email address with others?

We will never share your email address with anyone for the purpose of allowing other companies to market to you. If your email address becomes undeliverable, we may share it with a partner for the purpose of seeing if an email change of address exists for the purpose of updating our own information.
