Payment Processing,
Security and Privacy Statement
Payment Processing Policy
United States Domain Registration.com processes all
transactions through the ShopCo.com payment processing system.
ShopCo.com uses industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
encryption, as well as private links to international banking
networks, to ensure your information is quickly and securely
authorized and processed.
Security Policy
Your credit card information is protected in two ways. First of
all, as a result of the SSL-based encryption, your card number is
ALWAYS secure during transmission. A visual means of confirming this
is for you to watch the small padlock icon in your browser. While on
any page where financial information is to be entered, this icon
will change to a locked state, denoting a secure page. This security
measure is privately audited by an independent third-party, Geotrust,
whose icon you can click on from any secured page to confirm its
secure status.
Secondly, our private links to banking networks ensure that your
sensitive information is ALWAYS secure once we have received it. All
the information traveling on our banking network is guaranteed 100%
secure.
Shopco actively works with international banking institutions and
law enforcement to discover and prosecute cases of fraudulent credit
card use. All connections to, and transactions within Shopco are
logged and regularly audited. WE USE ALL MEANS AVAILABLE TO US TO
PURSUE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION AGAINST PERSONS ATTEMPTING FRAUD OR
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OUR SYSTEMS, IN ALL ICPO/INTERPOL
JURISDICTIONS.
Private Information Policy
