Security
ShowDogStore.com guarantees your security. Every time an order is placed or account information is securely accessed, it is done through a secure server that encrypts all information. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access and use at all times.
The secure server software we utilize is the state-of-the-art in security protocols: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is used to encode all information, including credit card numbers, passwords, names, etc. This high-level encryption makes it virtually impossible for anyone to ever see your information.
Trust is vital to e-commerce. To confidently communicate and transact business on the Internet, businesses and individuals must be able to identify who they are dealing with, and assure themselves that information exchanged online is safe from interception and alteration. In order to achieve this level of security, ShowDogStore.com also employs the use of digital certificates. Our Certificate Authority, Big Commerce, helps to establish the trust needed to make e-commerce work—for every transaction, every communication, every time.
To check the security of your connection, look at the bottom of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), SSL is active. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https." (Please note: some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers, so you would be unable to connect to our servers to place an order.)
