Prominence prevails: GiftsForYou.Biz is an extremely safe and secure online store.
Hopefully, moving the notification that GiftsForYou.Biz is an extremely safe and secure online store to a more prominent location on the main page will help more visitors to understand just how safe it is to order from an online store. Provided the store stays on top of security issues. A store that looks out for the financial well being of its customers. Most brick and mortar stores don't even do that anymore.
Did you know that when using a check in your local gift shop or department store, it is scanned and delivered electronically just as if you were using a credit card in an online purchase? Although both are subject to hacking at various stages of the transaction, a big difference is, the physical, paper check stays in the store's possession, and your personal information is in their hands for disposal.
Did you know that when you use a credit card in a local store or restaurant, when it is swiped, that is no different than if you typed in the numbers on to a website? Provided that website is secure, and is using SSL (https://), it is just as secure as that local store swiping it. In many cases, even more so, because you don't have someone 'disappearing' behind a wall with your card.
And, with online stores, if you find a store whose shopping cart is hacker safe, and a store that itself abides by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards [see below], you've got the best chance for a secure purchase next to using cash (which by the way is still not 100% secure, unless you also don't use ATMs).
We live in a highly technological world today, and the best you can do is to ensure the store you purchase from is conscious of your financial well being and safety, as GiftsForYou.Biz is.
GiftsForYou.Biz is an extremely safe and secure online store. Even the GiftsForYou.Biz web host is Hacker Safe
Payment Card Industry (PCI)
Data Security Standard
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard is a worldwide standard for payment card and consumer financial data protection. It incorporates the requirements of the Visa USA Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) and the Visa International Account Information Security (AIS) program, the MasterCard International Site Data Protection (SDP) program, as well as the security requirements of American Express DSS, DiscoverCard DISC and the Japan Credit Bureau (JCB).
Where can I find references about the PCI requirements?
