How Secure Is The Information
Eastwestbazaar.com Has About Me?
At eastwestbazaar.com your order process
is secured with the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
SSL provides you with the freedom to shop online without
the fear of your credit card information being stolen.
This encryption compares to a combination lock that
has several trillions of combinations. There are three
ways that indicate whether you're on a secure web page:
All URL's (web addresses) that require and use an SSL
connection start with https: instead of http:
The key or padlock on your browser screen will become
solid.
Security Alert messages may popup while moving between
regular and secure pages.
THAWTE
is a service that authenticates the integrity of this
encryption method (see the THAWTE
logo on the screen during the order process).
