Credit Card Security and the Internet
 |
It is actually safer to use your
credit card over the Internet than in stores and restaurants. These
businesses often use a multiple copy sales receipt, which requires
your signature. The employee then has access to not only your credit
card number but signature as well. Internet transactions are performed
electronically without a multiple copy sales draft, making your
purchase safer. |

We also utilize the latest in
encryption technology, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This technology is
compatible with Netscape Navigator version 2.0 and above, Microsoft
Explorer version 3.0 and above and AOL version 3.0 and above. SSL
encrypts your credit card number by transforming the data into an
unreadable format. Only an authorized processor can convert this
information to complete the transaction. After clicking on "secure
order" you should see a small key or lock on the bottom bar of your
browser. This indicates that your browser is communicating securely.
