Artificial Christmas Wreaths.com uses
Comodo® services for the latest encryption technology to secure your orders and HackerGuardian daily scanning service to ensure
that both our website and your order are secure from beginning to end.
We at Artificial Christmas Wreaths.com are very concerned
about your credit card security and privacy while shopping with us and other secure websites on the Internet.
Secure online ordering is a hot topic in todays news media. The facts however, are quit different from what is
usually presented.
With websites (like Artificial Christmas Wreaths.com) employing Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encryption technology, it is
extremely difficult to obtain credit card information. Highly skilled encryption breakers would be needed to
illegally obtain encrypted information.
- The server at the restaurant where you charged your dinner last week would need no such skill.
- Nor would the sales clerk who momentarily walked away with your credit card to process it.
- Neither would the gas station attendent who took your credit card to charge your gas fillup etc....

The fact is that the level of competence and know how needed to break your encrypted information is extremely rare. Your average use
of your credit card "offline," has a greater chance of someone obtaining your credit card information than does shopping securely online
at a site that uses SSL technology.
In the very highly unlikely event that someone did illegally obtain your credit card information, under the "Fair Credit Billing Act", your bank can not hold you liable for
more than $50 of fraudulent charges.
Artificial Christmas Wreaths.com uses SSL technology to encrypt your
credit card information for secure processing. You may charge your purchases online with confidence at Artificial Christmas Wreaths.com.

Is It Safe to Shop on the Internet?
When you shop on the Internet, you have the same
concerns as you do when you use a catalog to
shop over the telephone.
Impersonation: Is the business that takes
receiving my order authentic?
Eavesdropping: Could someone "listen in" to
my order and steal my credit card number?
In the real world, you often give your credit card to
cashiers or waiters, and you give out your account
number over the phone when placing an order.
Using your credit card number on the Internet is no
more dangerous than these practices. In fact, it is
often more secure to give out your account number
over the Internet, because many sites work with
your browser software to encode your transaction
so if outside parties intercept it, they won't be able
to read it.
Netscape products counter security threats with a
technology called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
SSL is a set of rules followed by computers
connected to the Internet. These rules include
encryption, which guards against eavesdropping;
data integrity, which assures that your
communications aren't tampered with during
transmission; and authentication, which verifies
that the party actually receiving your
communication is who it claims to be.
To check a site's security status, look at the site's
URL in your browser window. An "s" added to the
familiar "http" (to make "https") indicates that SSL
is in effect. In Netscape Navigator 3.0 and earlier,
the broken key symbol in the lower-left corner of
your browser window becomes solid when you are
in secure mode. In Netscape Communicator 4.0
and 4.5, the padlock symbol in the corner, usually
open, is closed in secure mode. In Internet
Explorer 4.0, a closed padlock appears when you
are in secure mode.
If you're about to send information to a site that's
not using SSL, your browser will warn you first.
SSL protects your communications during
transmission. However, you must also protect
yourself by dealing only with Internet companies
you are certain you can trust, just as you deal only
with merchants who won't share your credit card
numbers with others.
The Federal Trade Commission is increasing its
surveillance of Internet fraud, and the National
Consumers League has created the Internet Fraud
Watch, an online service for reporting frauds.
