How does MountainClimb keep your credit card information safe?
Simple. We never see the credit card information.
We use the CyberCash system to process credit card orders. The credit card number and expiration date you type in goes directly to CyberCash for verification. All that we receive back from CyberCash is an order number and an authorization that your card is a valid credit card.
Later, when we ship your product, we just send a notification to CyberCash to commit the charges against your account using a specially formatted and encrypted CyberCash order number. Throughout the whole process, we never see your credit card numbers.
And, the whole transaction between you and our servers, and our servers and the CyberCash network is encrypted with SSL, the Secure Socket Layer Protocol, the industry standard for encrypting web pages and web-based transactions.
What is the SSL protocol?
The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol was designed to enable encrypted, authenticated communications across the Internet. Normally, each time a document travels between two computers through the Internet (for example, between our servers and your computer), its contents are sent via unencrypted packets that could potentially be intercepted by anyone with the proper tools.
However, when you use the SSL protocol to encrypt that communication prior to its delivery, the packets become scrambled and will be useless to anyone that attempts to intercept them. In Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you can verify that an SSL connection is being used when the URL begins with "https".
