Protecting privacy is an important part of the business of Safeguard. Throughout our existence, we have been a trusted custodian of sensitive data. Our customers rely on that trust. We have a long history of recognizing and protecting the privacy of our customers' information. In 1999 we formalized our privacy policy to ensure that all customers understand our commitment to protecting their privacy.

Information Collection & Use


We are committed to protecting your business information. We use the information collected about you to process orders and to provide a more personalized shopping experience.
