What is SSL?
SSL, or Secure Socket Layer, is a protocol designed to facilitate the secure transferring of information over the World Wide Web. SSL works by authenticating the server's identity, along with the user's identity, and sending encrypted information through the channel, protected from prying eyes.
How do I know it is safe?
During your visit on our website, you'll know that the information or transaction you are transmitting (such as credit card information) is secure if you see one of the following:
- URL: Your URL shows "https://" at the beginning of the URL. The "s" after "http" means that the page is secure.
- Netscape Browser: a full yellow key in a blue box in the lower left-hand corner of your browser
- Internet Explorer: a full "lock" in the status bar
What component of your order is secure?
Once you are in the "checkout" process, each and every page is secured with SSL encryption. All personal, billing and credit card information is secure.
