Secure Ordering
Dog Paw Gift Cards takes every precaution to protect our customer's information. When users submit sensitive information via our website, their information is protected both online and offline. All purchases (online credit card transactions) made at Dog Paw Gift Cards are handled by PayPal and Google CheckOut, our third-party payment processing providers. When PayPal or Google CheckOut billing form asks customer's to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - Secure Socket Layering (SSL) - that ensures safe Internet transmission of your personal information.
In order to be sure that the information transferred between your browser and the Payment Processing server is secure, it is important to be aware of the security information available to you through your browser.
While on a secure page, the lock icon at the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open mode, when users are just 'surfing'. To confirm this, look at the bottom part of your browser window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser) you can be sure that your information is secure and you can safely enter your payment details.
If you do not see one of these icons, please contact your Internet service provider. You can also ensure security by checking the URL line of your browser. When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https" the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL. Your browser may also give you a pop-up message that you are about to enter a secure area. Most browsers offer additional security alerts as well.
