How Safe Is Your Personal Information?

When shopping on the Internet finding a safe and secure site is a must. Almost all Internet Retailers say they are safe & hacker proof. But are they? You visit a site and see a security seal and feel at easy. The truth is almost any web site can purchase a security seal for about $200.00 a year. The site is not checked daily as you may think. The fact is the $200.00 seal can be issued within 10 minutes to the site owner then posted on their site.

Some of the things I do when making a purchase on the Internet is to click the certificate seal and what type of certificate they use. I also have my Internet browser set to inform me of pages which are not secure when entering information. If my browser pops up and says " This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" and they are looking for personal information I am out of there. Usually this happens on a web page which you are asked to fill out a form or prior to a purchase. All Internet browsers today will show a padlock either on the top of the page or on the bottom. If you don't see the padlock do not enter any personal information, as it may end up in the wrong hands.

All Memory Foam Mattress has taken away the worry with purchasing online. For starters
our store is hosted by Yahoo Stores. Yahoo Stores provide their own 128 bit security during the entire check out process, along with a strong policy regarding personal information. Your purchase with us remains secure during the entire process including the "Print Confirmation" page. You are then E-mailed a copy of your order without showing any credit card account information.

For added security we use McAfee® Hacker Safe Security. Not a cheap seal sitting on our site, but a security system which checks our site daily for potential hackers. Research indicates sites remotely scanned for known vulnerabilities on a daily basis, such as those earning McAfee Secure certification, can prevent over 99% of hacker crime. Still we wanted more so we had our domain certified and verified as a legally registered domain. We are not affiliated with any other web site nor are we owned by any other web site.

Our merchant bank is Chase Merchant Services. Having a stable bank handling our customers transactions just made sense. All Memory Foam Mattress has worked hard to provide our customers with a safe and secure site to make a purchase.
