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. |
