Security of your Personal Information

Canopy secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Canopy uses the following methods for this purpose:

  •  WordPress

Canopy uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect against any loss, misuse and unauthorized alteration of the information we collect and maintain.  All information is stored in a secure database. When payment information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Moreover, credit card numbers are not retained by Canopy once processed.

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to, or alteration of, your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet, which are beyond our control; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.
