If you are under 13, please do not access our website.

Security of Information

To protect the personal information we receive, Ridgeline Orthotics uses a secure server when you submit any form requiring registration. The secure server software (SSL) helps protect your information as it travels over the Internet by encrypting that information before it is sent to us. We have also implemented industry-standard security mechanisms and procedures to protect data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. It should be noted, however, that we cannot guarantee that the transmission of data over the Internet will be absolutely secure. Due to the open nature of the Internet, the information you provide may be in environments that do not have adequate security measures and may be accessed and used by persons other than those intended. As a result, while the protection of your personal information is important to us, Ridgeline Orthotics is not able to ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and you assume the risk of any third party obtaining that information. Upon receipt of your information, Ridgeline Orthotics will strive to ensure its security on our systems through commercially reasonable means. However, please be aware that the efforts we exert to secure your data do not constitute a warranty that they are absolutely protected from unauthorized access. We are not responsible for the breach by third parties of the safeguards we put in place to protect the privacy of your data.
