- I like the idea of using a credit card on-line; however, what is your
security?
Our websites, which run on state of the art Microsoft
technologies, use SSL encryption, the highest form of encryption security
available right now. Still not sure? Read more about security and encryption
here .
This site is secure from others stealing your creditcard
information. Your credit card and personal information are code-encrypted for
security.
How can you tell if the order is secure?
It's easy. Check the on-line ordering form before submitting
sensitive information.
If you use a Netscape browser,look at the
bottom left-hand corner of the screen for a little key icon (examples: Mac
/ PC).
If the key is solid, not broken, your order information is secure. If it's
broken, you are on a page that is not secure and you should not enter
sensitive information on that page.
For Internet Explorer users, a small padlock
appears in the lower right-hand corner of the web browser window (examples: Mac
/ PC).
If the padlock is locked, not open, your order information issecure. If it's
open, then you are on a page that is not secure, and you shouldn't enter
sensitive information on that page.
There's a couple of other ways for you to check and see if the
information you're about to transfer is on a secure connection. Make sure and
look for the Paymentech seal (to the
right)on our checkout pages. While you can't click on it here, clicking on it
before sending your credit card information will show you Paymentech's
guarantee that your information will be secure.
Another option to test the security of your browseris to
right-click (Windows), or click and hold (Macintosh), and select Properties
(Internet Explorer) or "View Info"(Netscape) to see more information about the
page and its security. Click
here to see an example from Internet Explorer as to what you should look
for to verify that a page is secure.
Remember this: pages which do not ask you to enter and send
information will likely not be secure, so be sure you are on an 'order
information' page before checking. It's alwaysa good idea to check for the
whole key or closed padlock before you hit the button on the screen that says
'send' or 'submit.'
Shopping On The Internet: Fact
& Fantasy
Shop with confidence. Your personal information will not be read
by anyone else.
For many customers, one of the greatest fears about shopping on
the Internet is having your credit card number stolen and credit rating ruined
with unauthorized purchases.
This fear is a myth.
Shopping directly on the Internet is a new way ofdoing business.
It's easy to fear the unknown, especially when it comes to your money.
But how about these situations?
- A crook finds credit card receipt carbons in astore trash can, uses the
numbers and then sells them to another crook, who uses the numbers and
resells them to another crook who resells them.
- You hand your credit card to a waiter in a restaurant, who then leaves
with it to prepare your bill. Or is he calling in his order to another
catalog company?
- You dial up your cellular or cordless phone to order shoes from a
catalog, and your next door neighbor picks up your information on her baby
monitor?
All of the above (and other scenarios) happen everyday. They
illustrate a point. All the talk about 'Internet security' is blown out of
proportion. How often do you hear about the anxiety of using your credit card
in a restaurant? Or about the danger of allowing a hotel front-desk clerk to
confirm your room?
Why all the fuss about the security risks of shopping on the
Internet?
As far as we know, not a single dollar has been lost to electronic
theft of a credit card over the Internet. Compare that with the millions lost
every year just in conventional credit card fraud, and you'll wonder what all
the fuss is about.
When you shop on-line with a merchant who offers a Secure Server,
all the information you give (name, address,credit card number) is encrypted.
That means your information goes out as code. If a hacker could get it, it
would likely be gibberish. Your credit card never leaves your hand, it is
never picked up by monitors or scanners, and receipts are never found in a
trash can.
