Is On-Line Ordering Secure?
Today's popular media sources have led many people to believe that it is not safe to send your credit card information over the Internet. In fact, you're at greater risk when using the card in a retail store. Why? The key is the way Internet information is transmitted. When data is sent over the Internet, it is broken into pieces. These are called packets, and they hold small bits of information. The packets are coded, so that when they arrive at their destination, a computer reassembles them. While in transit, the packets join billions of other packets being transmitted over the Internet. Furthermore, the information included in the packets is encrypted. According to security experts, there has never been a recorded instance of credit card information being stolen while in transit on the Internet.

How is it secure?
To ensure that your order is secure we have contracted with YourPay.com (a leading provider of Internet-based credit card transaction services). YourPay is Visa CISP Compliant. Visa® has set a standard of diligence with their Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) and YourPay^® payment services, which are powered by the LinkPoint Secure Payment Gateway, are fully compliant with the Visa standards.

Our site is also secured by "SiteSafe" 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, from Network Solutions thereby offering the highest level of encryption or security possible. This means you can rest assured that communications between your browser and etoolcart.com's web servers are private and secure.  Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private and integral. SSL is an industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers. In order to be able to generate an SSL link, a web server requires an SSL Certificate.
