Security Information

Secure Shopping
All customer and credit card information is placed on a secure server using Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

The SSL protocol is the web standard for encrypting communications between users and websites. SSL prevents eavesdropping and tampering with transmitted data. Using an electronic certificate SSL ensures businesses and consumers that private data sent to a website remains confidential.

Always make sure you are connected to a secure server before submitting personal data.

• You should see a Padlock or Unbroken Key at the bottom right-hand corner of your browser window.

GeoTrust
GeoTrust is a leader in identity verification and trust services for e-business. GeoTrust has issued an SSL Certificate to thecrabbagepatch.com verifying that our website is authenticated and valid. The Certificate guarantees the security of the connection between the browser and the server.

Billing Address Match
We also guard against the fraudulent use of credit cards. When we receive an order, our software verifies the name and complete billing address of the card holder. If the information entered does not match the credit card company files, the transaction is denied and the card owner is notified.

Precautions
We at The Crabbage Patch want you to know that we are serious about protecting your personal information off-line as well. Only the staff members who need information to perform a specific task (ie. shipping, billing, customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. All staff are held to the highest level of integrity.

When you are finished shopping with us it is a good habit to Sign Out. This will help ensure that others will not have access to your personal and credit card information. It is especially important if you are sharing a computer with someone else or using a computer in a public place.
