Security - How We Undertake to Protect Information

At Lincoln/Mercury Old Parts, we leverage technology and sound business practices in an effort to maintain the security of our customer information and we proactively look for ways to improve our processes. Additionally, we have internal training and awareness programs all undertaken in a further effort to help to ensure that our staff remains vigilant in their efforts to protect the information.

Among the technology solutions we use in order to help protect your information, is a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information and login credentials are transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider's database. Through this methodology, we seek to ensure that information is only accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems. Authorized individuals are required to keep the information confidential. Protecting your information is a business priority for us and we work hard to earn your continuing trust.

Regretfully, no form of electronic communication can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
