Is Shopping Online Safe?
Custom Care Package is dedicated to providing the safest and most secure
shopping environment possible for our patrons. Most consumers are unaware that
it is statistically safer to use your credit card over the Internet than in
traditional stores and restaurants. That's because those businesses use multiple
copy sales drafts, which require the customer's signature. That gives employees
and potentially others access to not only your credit card number but to your
signature as well.
How is My Credit Card Information Protected?
The data collected by a merchant in an Internet transaction is encrypted by
your browser before it ever leaves your computer. That first level of encryption,
(or browser-level encryption) is called the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). With SSL,
data is broken in to smaller pieces of data called bit keys before being passed
to the credit card processor. The higher the number of bits in a code, the
harder the code is to crack. 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. Only an authorized processor can convert this
information to complete the transaction.
In addition to encryption, Custom Care Package uses additional tools to prevent
fraud including the Address Verification System (AVS). The AVS system verifies
that the billing address provided by a consumer matches that of the card holder.
This helps us protect you as well as ourselves by making sure only you use your
credit card.
