Is
It Safe To Shop On-Line?
|
When you shop on-line, your credit card number and address
information is encrypted using state-of-the-art technology.
Our site uses 128-bit encryption and the SSL (Secure Socket
Layer) security features provided by your Web browser. This
ensures that your transactions are secure. Your order is processed
by a secure server (computer) which is similarly encrypted
and is programmed with fraud protection routines and password
security to ensure the safety of your information.
The credit card information which you provide to our password
protected, secure server via encrypted computer communications,
is the same credit card information you hand over to the waiter
or waitress at your local restaraunt who walks off with your
credit card and that you give verbally over the telephone
or send in by mail to the operator at your favorite mail order
company. Once that information is in the hands of person,
you are depending on their honesty and integrity to insure
the safety of that information.
The bottom line truth of the matter is that though the press
has made a big deal about on-line credit card fraud, for many
companies that have similar online and offline businesses,
online credit card charge back rates are lower than
offline rates. Web-based transactions are, in most cases,
safer than those that take place over the phone or even with
brick-and-mortar retailers.
