SSL encrypts your order information in a manner that can be
decoded only by us. At the minimum, secure sockets use 40-bit
encryption. This means the data you submit is scrambled in one of over 1
TRILLION possible combinations. Only our company has the key to determine which
combination is used and, therefore, can read the information you send online.
You can verify that you are accessing a secure server, both on
checkchecks.com and others, in a couple of ways. If you see an unbroken key (in
Netscape) or a closed lock (in Explorer) in the lower left corner of your
browser when you access the server, SSL is active. You can also check the URL
line of your browser - when accessing a secure server, the first characters of
the site address will change from "http" to "https."
Think of how often you have left the check on a restaurant's
table. Many times your name, credit card number and expiration date are in plain
view. When ordering with checkchecks.com, however, you can rest assured the
information you transmit is seen only by us.
