LighterCovers.com uses Paypal for all
online order transactions.
PayPal automatically encrypts your
confidential information in transit from your computer to their's using the
Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of
128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even
register or log in to our site, their server checks that you're using an
approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information reaches Paypal, it resides on a server that is heavily
guarded both physically and electronically. Paypal servers sit behind an
electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your
private information is available only to authorized computers.
Paypal understand that you may be
concerned about on-line credit card security. Paypal, along with other key
e-commerce sites, maintain that e-commerce is safer than everyday credit
card purchases. Because Paypal wants you to be comfortable shopping online,
Paypal has taken steps to ensure that their site is secure by implementing
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
SSL is a technology included with most
major Web browsers that encrypts all messages sent between a Web browser and
an SSL-enabled Web site. In Netscape Navigator, a gold key or closed lock
appears on the bottom status bar to show that the Web page being viewed is
using SSL encryption technology. When using Microsoft Internet Explorer, a
closed lock appears. This tells you that any personal information, like your
credit card number, entered on a specially configured SSL Web page form will
be encrypted before being transferred across the Internet to PayPal.com.
This information is automatically unencrypted upon receipt by the Web
server.
