SECURITY
This page tells you about our internet security and how you can check that the order pages are secure.
Before PAYMENT information entered on a Eyres Safety Optics (GTP iCommerce) order page is transmitted across the internet, it is first encrypted by an extremely rigorous algorithm called RC4 128 bit (SSL v3.0) which is proven as secure for online shopping and e-commerce.
Despite media paranoia about Internet security, this encryption method is actually more secure than providing your credit card number over the phone. Something many of us do without hesitation.
There are several indicators of a secure web page. The first is the https:// prefix on the URL. If this page is located within a frames environment you may wish to open the page in its own browser window to confirm for yourself that it is a secure page.
The second indicator of a secure page depends on your browser.
Early versions of Netscape display a blue bar at the top of the page. Later versions display a key or a padlock in the lower left corner of the screen. Microsoft Internet Explorer displays a padlock on the lower right hand corner of the screen.
Our digital key, required for secure web page encryption was provided by Thawte. Thawte performs a comprehensive background check on any company before issuing a digital key.
You can confirm the authenticity of our key by doing the following
| Microsoft IE3 | From the file menu, select properties, then click on the security tab to bring up details of the digital ID |
| Microsoft IE4 | Click on the padlock to bring up details of the digital ID |
| Netscape Navigator 3 | Click on the key in the lower left corner and Show Document Info on the Security Information page. Under Certificate, view our Digital ID details |
| Netscape Communicator or Later | Click on the padlock in the lower left hand corner and the View Certificate button on the Security Information page |
If you are still not comfortable sending your credit card details across the internet, you can fill out your details on the web page then click on "Generate Order Summary". You can then print the order summary out and send it to us by post or fax, or keep it in front of you and call us on the phone.
