At boardshortsworld.com, purchases are conducted on our secure server and the security of your information is very important to us.
Personal information is transmitted to us using the encryption and security technology of Secure Socket Layers (SSL). SSL technology encrypts your order information to protect it from being decoded by anyone other than boardshortworld. Only browsers that use the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer protocol are able to order through our website. If your browser does not support SSL, you can get an upgrade at Microsoft's or Netscape's home page.
Once you enter the checkout page of our shopping cart, your computer will begin communicating with our server in secure mode. You can tell that you are in secure mode by the following:
- The "http" in the web address
displayed in your browser's address bar will automatically change from "http" to "https". The "s" stands for "secure."
If you are using Netscape 2.0 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 or higher, your browser window will display a lock or similar symbol when you are at the point during checkout where you are asked for credit card information, indicating that you have a secure connection. If you are using a Netscape browser, you can check the security of your connection by looking at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window before entering personal information. For Internet Explorer, check the little boxes near the lower right-hand corner. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. |
