What happens to your data when you place an order with Minute Bear Trading? Are you concerned about placing orders on the Internet? Are you afraid your credit card number will be stolen?
For the most part, the media has overhyped the security risks. Using the right technologies, placing an order over the Internet is just as safe, and possibly safer, than placing an order by phone or giving your card to a store clerk.
We want you to know that the security of your personal information is of great importance to us. When you place an order, the following steps are taken to ensure your information security:
1.
Our final order form is located on a secure server at our web site host. When you submit your order, your browser will encrypt the data and send it to the server using the most current Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology available. (Browsers generally show a small lock or key in the bottom left corner when communicating with a secure server. Some show a green color in the address bar.)
2.
The server will decrypt the data and run it through our shopping cart program. The program will again encrypt the data using PGP encryption technology.
3.
A encrypted email message will be sent to our ISP.
4.
When we contact our ISP to receive our mail, we will receive your PGP-encrypted order on our computer.
5.
We then decrypt your order using our private key. No one can read this mail without our private key, and we safeguard that key.
From the time you send your order until the time we receive it, your information is encrypted and unreadable to anyone else. Your order will safely reach us and your information will never be publicly readable as it crosses the Internet.
Is all this too confusing? Well, please trust us when we say that this method is far more secure than placing an order over a cellular or portable phone (or any phone for that matter!).
Your information comes to us and us alone when you place an order through our website. Many Blessings -
Security
