SECURITY AND PRIVACY
Secure Shopping
Because we care about your satisfaction as a customer, and understand any anxiety you may feel about online purchasing, Geo-Plus uses the services of InternetSecure (http://www.internetsecure.com/solutions-security.htm) who employs state-of-the-art technology to guard against the loss or misuse of all personal information, to ensure that the transmission of your personal information takes place in complete security.
Security
All of your personal information is encrypted by SSL software as soon as
you type it on your keyboard, making it impossible for anyone to see this
information during its transfer via the Internet. None of the information
related to your order-such as your name, address or credit card number, for
example-can be openly on the Net.
No credit-card-related information is ever stored on our servers. Nor will
your credit card number ever be printed on any invoice, list or other paper
document-which means none of our employees have access to it.
When making an online purchase, you can verify whether you are in secure mode
by making sure the URL (the Web address displayed by your browser) starts
with https:// Instead of http://, as shown in the example below.
The lock icon at the bottom of your browser window will also tell you whether
you are in secure mode; see the example below.
Confidentialité
You may rest assured that the information gathered for the purpose of filling your order will never be disclosed to anyone whatsoever without your express written consent.Some Recommendations for Secure Transactions
