J&K Sales, Inc. uses the industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to insure your shopping experience at our online store is safe and secure. With our QuickSSL premium SSL certificate from GeoTrust, you can conduct secure internet transactions with J&K Sales, Inc. at the same level of trust and confidence you expect in the offline world. Our QuickSSL Premium certificate offers true 128-bit encryption that's fully compatible with leading browsers from Microsoft and AOL/Netscape.
SSL provides you with sound privacy protection by encrypting the
channel of communication between J&K Sales, Inc. and you - the consumer. Using a mathematical formula, SSL puts the information you exchange into a complex code. Think of it as a kind of an armor protection over the information that you share with us. Even if intercepted, your data would be extremely difficult to read.
In plain English, SSL helps the consumer's web browser automatically scramble their information, such as a credit card number, before it gets sent to the merchant. After that, SSL allows only the merchant's software to unscramble this data. Through SSL, you and J&K Sales, Inc. can complete transactions with the confidence that no one else can read, change, or fool with their payment information as it travels over the Internet.
Since the data sent is secure, SSL is now considered more than enough
security for consumers to do business with merchants they know and
trust.
To find out if your transaction is guarded by SSL, look for the picture of the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window
(both the Netscape Navigator/Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers use SSL). Either indicator means SSL is hard at
work protecting you while shopping at J&K Sales, Inc.. (If you don't see either one, or if you see a broken key or an open lock, that means SSL is definitely not hard at work protecting your transaction.) SSL protection is mainly used on our site when you login or are in the check out process.
The easy way you can tell if SSL is guarding your transaction, though, is to check the URL of the page you are visiting. It should change
from "http" to "https" when processing secure transactions.
As part of the provisioning process with QuickSSL Premium, J&K Sales, Inc. is registered with ChoicePoint and assigned a ChoicePoint Unique Identifier (CUI) — equivalent to a DUNS number. The CUI provides a corporate profile to our customers through information imbedded in our certificate and in our QuickSSL Premium smart seal. Our business registration profile initially contains the basic self-reported information from our CSR — our Domain, Company Name, Division, Country, State and City. ChoicePoint will allow relying parties to view and purchase additional data about our company. With access to our corporate profile, you - our customer - can feel confident in conducting business with us online. With the ChoicePoint Unique Identifier, GeoTrust's industry-recognized domain control authentication, and GeoTrust's two-factor telephony authentication, QuickSSL has the strongest real-time authentication process on the market today.
Keep in mind that e-mail works independently of any security software, such as SSL or SET, and is not protected by them. E-mail is vulnerable and should never be used to send or receive sensitive personal information. Please do not send credit card information to us via email! Also, when sending payment information to J&K Sales, Inc., always make sure to use a secure browser, such as Netscape Navigator (2.0 or higher), Microsoft Internet Explorer, or AOL.
