Security

Security   We’ve all been there before; checking out a new website, wondering what kind of service we’ll get and if it’s safe to give your hard earned cash to yet another faceless stranger. Make no mistake, ordering online can be scary, but I think I can provide you with some very good reasons why you’re in good hands when you shop in my store:   Encryption: No messing around on this point, I use the latest GnuPG encryption technology to make sure your orders reach me safe and sound. Every time you place an order in my store, it is encrypted before it is sent; once your information is encrypted, it is virtually unreadable by anyone but our key holders! Best of all, our key holding computer is located off-site and off-line, denying hackers yet another opportunity to steal your information. Storage: Your credit card information is never stored online, keeping it safe from the prying eyes of hackers! While this means that you will have to enter your card number every time you place an order, it also means that hackers have no access to your number, even if they manage to invade our online store. Manual Processing: Each credit card transaction is processed by hand and double-checked for accuracy. Manual processing eliminates many of the problems and security risks that are inherent with automated payment gateway systems. Unlike some merchants, I will never charge you for an out of stock or backordered item; processing your transactions by hand allows me to sort your order and issue charges only for those items that are ready to ship. Address Verification System: I use AVS technology to ensure that your shipping address matches your credit card’s billing address. If your bank does not have a record of your shipping address, the transaction won’t be processed until I personally contact you to ensure the validity of the order Information Distribution: Your information will never be sold to anyone nor will it leave our possession for any reason whatsoever, period! Prosecution: I will actively and legally pursue any one who attempts to use my store for illegal activities or fraud. Off-line Orders: Of course, if you still don’t feel safe ordering online, I can take your order over the phone, via our LIVE customer support, by fax, by snail-mail or by email – just contact me and I will take care of you. You can even use my shopping cart system and choose one of the above payment options at checkout; I will contact you personally to work out the payment details!   Still have doubts? Don’t hesitate to contact me and I will do my very best to answer your questions within 24 hours!   Yours truly, John Coviello Chief Warlock, Little Shop of Magic Supreme Mugwump, International Confederation of Wizards
