Kidspartsupply.com
with its affiliates uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to
ensure your orders are transmitted safely over the Web. Without
getting too technical, SSL translates all the information you send
to us into an indecipherable code right within the browser on your
computer.
Your credit card number is encrypted and transmitted to Cyber cash
using up to 256-bit SSL technology. It transmits approval (but not the
credit card number) over the Web to our merchant. Each part of the
information sent over the Web is assigned a separate encryption
key; thus, each transmission is scrambled in a different way. All
transmissions over the Web are sent as a series of small packets
so that not all information is transmitted at the same instant.
It would be extremely difficult for anyone to identify an encrypted
packet as a credit card charge and decipher it.
To date, not one single transmission over the
Web has been intercepted when this technology has been used.
How do I know if a web site is secure?
When buying something
on the Internet, there are three things to ensure:
1. The data
that you send is encrypted.
2. The site
you're doing business with is the site you think it is.
3. The site
you're doing business which processes your credit card and
address information in a safe and responsible manner.
The first two items
above are taken care of by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the industry
standard security protocol that our affiliate merchants use.
Critical data transmitted to and from a secure server like ours
is encrypted. You don't have to know whether your browser supports
secure transactions -- if it doesn't, you won't be able to complete
the checkout process.
Many security experts say the most important thing is what happens
once the merchant receives your order. Several steps are taken
to keep things on our end as safe as possible. Orders are encrypted
until they're ready to be processed. All
ordering is processed on Cyber cash servers, which are not connected
to the Internet, so there's no danger of people gaining access
to them.
If a "warning" window
(depending on your configuration) comes up, what does it mean?
The browser is notifying you about entering
or leaving a secure area on our Web site. Critical information
and credit card transactions are only handled in secure areas.
As long as your browser shows its "secure mode symbol," we guarantee
it's safe to send us your private information. If you want to,
you can disable this warning.
