Is my transaction secure? What happens to my credit card information?
We use more than two dozen different industry-standard practices and proprietary techniques to keep your credit card information private and secure.
- First and foremost, you should see a small "padlock" icon on the bottom right-hand side of your browser - indicating a secure connection.
- Furthermore, the checkout page is located on a HTTPS: connection - which is another indication of a secure connection.
- Then, our GeoTrust & VeriSign SSL certificates require your browser to initiate at least a 128-bit secure channel between your PC and our server - so that absolutely no one else can see your data.
- Next, we transmit your credit card information in small chunks (never the whole thing at one time) across multiple internet paths to your credit card issuing bank using 256-bit encryption (128-bit encryption is considered totally secure).
- Finally, we encrypt only the first and last 4-digits of your credit card for storage (to help us assist you should you have questions about your transaction) in our system using 1024-bit permanently irreversible encryption.
If you have further questions or concerns, please contact our sales and support team.
