Facebook privacy has the been the talk on lots of media lately. Some of the complaints raised make no sense; some are impossible to discern; and some may very well be valid — BUT — Elegant Roots’ facebook shop customers can RELAX.

Facebook does not have access to any information provided during an Elegant Roots’ customer’s session in Elegant Roots' Facebook Shop.

The Elegant Roots Facebook Shop was created by and is powered by Milyoni. During checkout, our customer’s connection is encrypted, so Facebook cannot possibly see any part of the Checkout process or the information provided during Checkout. Even if Facebook was being more devious than claimed, we can say without reservation: Facebook does not have access to the financial or identity information provided during Elegant Roots Checkout. For technical detail, check out the Milyoni blog.

Their quick answer is “rest assured you are secure.” When you have finished selecting products and start to check out, the pages are secured. Each step in the Elegant Roots Facebook Shop (#1 – Billing and Shipping Information, #2 – Shipping Method, #3 – Transaction, #4 Completion and Registration) is protected with up to 256-bit Secure Socket Layer encryption. FACEBOOK CAN’T ACCESS IT!

Bottom line — whatever the validity of privacy concerns re Facebook — they don’t apply to a transaction on the Elegant Roots Facebook Shop.
