Your personal data is protected, and our shopping cart provides you with the highest assurance and 256-Bit Encryption.(RC4 128 bit encryption).
Many online transactions are now protected
by what's called SSL,
which is short for "Secure Sockets Layer".
SSL provides you with sound privacy protection
by encrypting the channel of communication between you and the merchant.
Using a mathematical formula, SSL puts the information you exchange into
a complex code. Think of it as a kind of armor over the information. Even
if intercepted, your data would be extremely difficult to read as it is
highly scrambled.
In plain English, SSL helps your browser
to automatically scramble his informationsuch as a credit card numberbefore
it gets sent to the merchant. After that, SSL allows only the merchant's
software to unscramble this data. Through SSL, you can complete transactions
with the confidence that no one else can read, change, or fool with your
payment information as it travels over the Internet.
Since the data sent is secure, SSL is now
considered more than enough security for consumers to do business with
merchants they know and trust.
To ensure your transaction is guarded
by SSL, look for the picture of the unbroken key or closed padlock at the bottom right corner of your
browser window (Mozilla, Netscape Navigator/Communicator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer browsers use SSL). Either the unbroken key or closed padlock means SSL is hard
at work. (If you don't see either one, or if you see a broken key or an
open lock, that means SSL is not protecting your transaction.)
Another way you can tell if you are on a 'secure' page making sure SSL is guarding
your transaction, is to check the URL (website address) of the site you are visiting.
It should change from "http" to "https" when processing
secure transactions, the "s" indicates the page you are on is secure and encrypted.
Many companies offer Secure Login, you should always
make sure you log into a site when using your password using
their secure login page.
Do NOT Send Credit Card info via E-mail
E-mail works independently of any security software, such as SSL or SET,
and is not protected by them. E-mail is vulnerable and should
never be used to send or receive sensitive personal information such as your credit card information, or even your social security number.
