Caponocca is completely committed to protecting the privacy of its members and customers.  The following privacy statement is intended to showcase our commitment to you about what we share and with others and how we safeguard that information.

Personal Information

Caponocca may collect personally identifiable information such as name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, institution affiliation, credit card number, or date of birth through various activities of the website. This personal information is collected and used by Caponocca staff for the sole purpose of facilitating a relationship or completing a business transaction.

The Caponocca website resides behind a firewall and uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer, the industry-standard security protocol used to communicate with browsers) to transmit personal information. Data is strongly encrypted during transmission to ensure that personal and payment information is secure. Industry-standard data encryption techniques are used to protect personal information on all internal computers. SSL-capable browsers typically have a symbol on the browser window to indicate when they are in a secure mode.
