  2. We will only share personal information with others as stated in this pledge, unless we give you additional notice or ask for your permission.

Browsers and Internet Security
Any time you place an order and provide credit card information we encrypt it using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL protects information as it crosses the Internet. To support this technology, you need an SSL-capable browser. THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE recommends using a strong encryption, 128-bit browser like Netscape Navigator 4.06 or higher or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher. These browsers will activate SSL automatically.
You can tell if you are visiting a secure area within a Web site by looking at the symbol on the bottom of your browser screen. If you are using Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you will see either a lock or a key. When the symbol appears unbroken or the padlock is in the locked position, your session connection is taking place via a secure server. If you need a strong encryption browser, you can go to the Netscape Web site or the Microsoft Web site to download the latest Navigator or Internet Explorer browser. We do not recommend the use of beta browser versions.

Your Password and Other Security Issues
Your THE CHEFS’ WAREHOUSE password is your private entry key into your account. You should never share it with anyone. If you forget your password, please call THE CHEFS' WAREHOUSE at 1-718-842-8700, and we will be glad to help you.

Logging Off
After you've finished accessing your THE CHEFS' WAREHOUSE account, don't forget to log off. This prevents someone else from accessing your account if you leave your computer and your session hasn't "timed out," or automatically shut down.

Security Risk of Using Non-Approved Automated Software Applications
