Website Security

Vertar automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the VeriSign®Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to our site, our server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.

Once your information reaches us, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.

Payments Secured by VeriSign: VeriSign is known for employing the highest standards when it comes to web security and is renowned for being the world leader in secure payment processing. When you place orders on our web site, all of your order information (including your card number and delivery address) is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Socket Layer (128-Bit SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order and account information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology is an industry standard and is designed to prevent any unauthorised person from capturing your personal information. Order information you provide on our web site will be transmitted using a secure connection. When you are viewing a page that is using SSL technology, you will notice a lock in your browser window as well the page address starting with "https://" instead of "http://". If your web browser does not support this level of security, you will not be able to order products online at our site. The most recent versions of Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox can support a secure connection. Any of these can be downloaded for free from their respective web sites.
