Shop Online Securely


Online shopping is convenient but can also pose hazards for unwary buyers. While electronic exchange of funds makes buying online easier it is important to watch for signs of a secure site. Secure sites provide encryption of data so that others can't view it or intercept it. This encryption is called SSL (Secure Socket Layers).

Look for security symbols such as a closed padlock on the bottom of your browser window and URLs that start with https instead of http. Encryption that hides your sensitive information (like passwords, credit card numbers and other personal data) by displaying it as dots rather than the actual numbers or letters is another safety feature.

Check the Privacy Policy and only deal with reputable merchants. Check with the Better Business Bureau if you're unsure. You may also consider third party payment processors (such as Paypal and ClickBank) which prevent the merchant from obtaining any financial information directly. Check the security status and privacy policies of any third party processor before making a transaction.
