Ordering from MyFavoriteShoeStore.com® is private and secure. From the moment you click on our shopping cart, you are entering the safest, most secure area of our web site. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) which is the most advanced consumer online security technology available. Our SSL technology is certified by VeriSign, the leading secure sockets layer certificate authority. Your credit card information is encrypted as soon as the number is transmitted to us and is stored in a secure environment. For additional security, only the last four digits of your credit card will be displayed on the confirmation screen. If you prefer, you may phone, fax or mail your order as described in the ordering options section. Once you enter the checkout page, your computer will begin communicating with our server in secure mode. You can tell that you are in secure mode by the following:

1. The "http" in the web address will be replaced by "https"
2. Depending on the browser, you will see either a closed lock (Microsoft Internet Explorer, AOL and Netscape Communicator) or a solid, unbroken key (Netscape Navigator and Mozilla Firefox) in the lower section of the browser window.
3. You may also see a solid blue line in the upper portion of the browser window.
4. You may also see a message about letting you know that your are entering the secure page and ask if you like to view the security certificate.

Most browsers will also warn you when you leave a secure area to go to a regular area of the web site. Only browsers that use the SSL technology are able to order through the MyFavoriteShoeStore.com® web site. If your browser does not support SSL, you can get an upgrade at the Microsoft, Netscape and Mozilla's Firefox home page.
