Is
it safe to use my credit card On-line?
We
use industry standard SSL encryption to protect your
information. This is recognized as the best and strongest
protection available. All credit card information is
encrypted before it is sent to our secure server. The
information you send us can only be read by authorized
personnel using a proper pass phrase.
When
you use your credit card to shop over the internet you
should use the same precautions as you normally would
when shopping at any other source. You would not give
your credit card information to a business or person
that you did not know or trust. Do the same when shopping
online. Make sure you know who you are dealing with
and only send personal information over a secure link.
A secure link encrypts your information making it extremely
difficult to decipher.
If you take
these precautions, online shopping can be safer than
traditional shopping. Your credit card information is
viewed only by authorized personnel.
A recent article
in Sympatico magazine read:
"So far, credit card number theft over the
Internet has been extremely rare; in our research of
major law-enforcement and consumer agencies, there was
not one reported instance of this kind of credit card
fraud."
