Data Security

The security of your personal information is a top priority at Designed Footwear. We implement a variety of industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt sensitive information transmitted during checkout and other interactions. We also regularly review and update our security practices to stay ahead of emerging threats. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
