Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Secure Link
An SSL Certificate (Secure Sockets Layer) creates a secure link between a website and a visitor’s browser. By ensuring that all data passed between the two remains private and secure, SSL encryption is designed to prevent hackers from stealing private information such as names, email addresses, and credit card numbers.
We installed an SSL Certificate on www.kangfu.net to elevate the security of your Personally Identifiable Information during registration and purchase. When you enter Personally Identifiable Information on www.kangfu.net, your browser should change to a secured (encrypted) mode typically signified by a locked padlock near the URL address in your browser.

You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on blogs, newsgroups, forums, message boards, chat areas, or other socially interactive areas of www.kangfu.net, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of www.kangfu.net and this policy.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive.
