Data Encryption

Your personal and financial information is safe with us.

Safeguarding your financial and personal information is one of our most important priorities. We use PayPal to accept payments. Here's why:

Industry-Leading Use of Encryption.

PayPal automatically encrypts all sensitive information sent between your computer and our servers.

Your computer:

When registering or logging in to the PayPal site, we verify that your internet browser is running Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher.

In transit:

Information is protected by SSL with an encryption key length of 168 bits (the highest level commercially available).

PayPal servers:

Your personal information is stored on PayPal servers and heavily guarded, both physically and electronically. To further shield your credit card and bank numbers, PayPal does not directly connect their firewall-protected servers to the internet.
