When you checkout, you tell us how you want to submit and pay for the
order. If you select the secure online ordering option, you then fill out a form onscreen
supplying shipping and payment information.
Vitaminscatalog.com
uses Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the information you send us when you place your
order. The information is encrypted on your computer, sent through the Internet as jumbled
code, and decoded on Vitaminscatalog.com secure server. It can not be read in transit.
It is only decrypted (made readable again) after it is safely in our
hands. As such it is virtually impossible for your credit card data to be intercepted and
read. Even if the file was intercepted (itself, highly unlikely), it would be unreadable
unless the person had the decryption key (only we have it).
Many people are worried that credit card numbers can be intercepted by
unscrupulous hackers. This concern is completely understandable but not necessary.
- First, you are far more at risk when you give your credit card to a
store clerk or restaurant waiter, who have the opportunity to disappear and take multiple
imprints of your card. You'd never know it until you see the charges on your next
statement.
- Second, it is not as easy as you might think to intercept data on the
Net. Few people have the knowledge necessary and so, data interception is very rare.
- Third, we use (as do any reputable merchants on the Internet) a secure
server that holds payment information such as credit card numbers and expiration dates
encrypted and password protected. They are decrypted only after they have been downloaded
by us.
Thus, while we provide a variety of ordering options, we encourage you
to use our Secure Online Ordering System. It really is extremely secure and it's the most
quick and easy method.
