Protecting your order and credit card information is a top priority at the WomenTechWorld e-Store, which is why we guarantee 100% secure ordering for all our customers. To protect you and your credit card information, all transactions are handled through Yahoo! Stores using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. SSL sends your credit card number to our computer in an encrypted code, which only we can decode. For added security, Yahoo! Stores also encrypts the credit card number when it is stored on disk.

In addition, you are protected by the Fair Credit Billing Act, which prohibits your bank from holding you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges.

Occasionally, your browser might display a security alert to notify you that you are entering or leaving a secure connection. These alerts serve to tell you when WomenTechWorld e-Store is taking precautions to keep the information you supply (such as your password) secure while it travels from your computer to the WomenTechWorld e-Store server. This is normal, and you can choose to continue in both cases.

Does it work on my Web browser?
Our transaction system currently works only with Web browsers that can use SSL – such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and the America Online browser.

Does anybody else see the information I provide?
WomenTechWorld e-Store will not provide any information about our guests to anyone outside of the company.

What is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology?
Secure connections (often called SSL or Secure Sockets Layer) are the industry standard in Web security. It is used primarily to provide a secure connection for transmitting sensitive information over the Internet. With a secure connection between your browser and a Web site, no one else can easily access the data that you send across the connection. WomenTechWorld e-Store uses SSL to encrypt your preferred customer information to give you the highest level of security.

6. Security - Other. We store subscriber and password files with personal information in a secure manner behind password protection.
