When
buying something on the Internet, there are three things to
ensure:
1. The
data that you send is encrypted.
2. The
site you're doing business with is the site you
think it is.
3. The
site you're doing business with processes your
credit card and address information in a safe
and responsible manner.

The first two
items above are taken care of by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
the industry standard security protocol that our affiliate
merchants use. Critical data transmitted to and from a
secure server like ours is encrypted. You don't have to know
whether your browser supports secure transactions -- if it
doesn't, you won't be able to complete the checkout process.
Many security experts say the most important thing is what
happens once the merchant receives your order. Several steps
are taken to keep things on our end as safe as possible. Orders
are encrypted until they're ready to be processed. All
ordering is processed on Cyber cash servers, which are not
connected to the Internet, so there's no danger of people
gaining access to them.
