SECURITY & PRIVACY

5.1 Payment Security
Payments to us are transacted over a secure server with the latest encryption technology to protect you. Encryption of your credit card number and expiration date via our secure server is actually safer than doing business by telephone or fax according to credit card security experts. Our promise is that your credit card information will never be shared, sold or given to anyone outside our company.

5.2 How important is a SECURE server and how do I know if I’m on one?
When you send email, credit card and web information across the Internet, is it normally clear text, that is to say anyone whose chose to make the effort to intercept it, may be able to and could read it. (that is a felony violation of federal law, with SEVERE penalties). Assuming someone wanted to take the risk, you could further retard their felonious efforts by encrypting (scrambling) your transmission. When you use the web this can all be done automatically for you when you attach to a secure server.
You should see a gold colored padlock on the bottom of the browser window (varies with browser).

5.3 What if I don't see a padlock, is it still a secure site?
Not necessarily. If a web page uses frames, a secure window may be displayed without adding the secure icon in the status bar. To determine if the page is secure, right click in the frame next to where you are entering your credit card number and select (left-click) properties from the short-cut menu. You will see a property page which describes the protocol. If is says HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy, you can click on the Certificate button and get information about who owns and operates the server from there.

5.4 Privacy
We promise that the information we collect on you by email or in order processing is used for internal purposes only. Your personal data, email address and credit card information will not willingly be shared with any source or organization outside Faith Centered Resources. This promise applies to you or anyone you choose to “email our site to a friend”.
