To ensure your information is private and secure, we use high assurance SSL Certificates, to make sure your data is Encrypted with the highest encryption protection available. We then go one step further by automatically deleting ALL your Credit Card information when your products are shipped.
We understand that you're concerned about the security and privacy of your online transactions. This is why we at TruckingComfort use Thawte to ensure that your valuable data, such as credit card details, are encrypted when you interact with our site. But, SSL is only part of the security. To further protect you, we have also gone through an Extended Validation (EV) process, which guarantees that we are who we say we are and protects you for up to a quarter of a million dollars.
We have noticed many website advertising that they have the best security available and point to the yellow lock. You need more than just the lock. The problem with just having an SSL certificate is that thieves can also very easily get an SSL Certificate. There is NO checking. That is why SSL/EV is so important. Thieves cannot get the EV (Extended Validation) because they cannot verify the address, nor the legitimacy of the company. The minimum requirements for SSL/EV Certification is you must be either a legitimate (registered) Corporation or an LLC. It is a regorous 3 step verification process.
The following is more infromation on site security, including some helpful tips to keep you computer secure and help you stay secure while online.
What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer(SSL), is the security technology for encrypting a link between a web server and a browser. All data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure.
Whenever you communicate with us on our payment pages, a small yellow padlock appears in the bottom right-hand corner of your browser as a sign that we are now engaging SSL. (Another sign on some browsers is that when you enter the secure area of the site, the address bar turns bright green. You'll also notice that http:// is replaced by https:// (The 's' stands for 'Secure').

"How do I know you are a real organization?"
To generate an encrypted SSL transmission, a web server requires an SSL Certificate. Checking a website's certificate is good practice that helps you avoid spoof websites, sometimes called "phishing" sites. To check the certificate, click on the padlock. Your browser will show you the name of the owner of the certificate. This name should match the name of the website and if applicable, it's parent company.
Our SSL certificates are issued by a leading certificate authority, thawte CA. thawte is Web Trust-compliant, meaning that their business practices and processes have been rigorously audited according to AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) guidelines by an independent approved auditor (Ernst & Young).
Thawte High Assurance certificates enable a high level of encryption. They also confirm that a company is a legally accountable organization. i.e. A registered corporation or LLC.
To receive a High Assurance SSL Certificate from Thawte, we had to demonstrate to them that we are an existing business, along with our control over the domain you are visiting. When you shop online, you deserve to know who you are dealing with.
Seeing a site with a High Assurance SSL Certificate, confirms two essential factors:
That you have a secure SSL (encrypted) link with this website.
That this website represents a real organization.
"How do you secure my payment information?"
We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions to our site.
Your computer and ours agree to transpose whatever we are sending into an unintelligible "hash" of characters, using a technology called SSL. For example:
When you are on a Secure web page (any page that request personal information) verify that HTTPS: is in the address bar and that the address bar is green. The most advanced Security on the web today is SSL/EV (Secure Socket Layer/Extended Validation). How do you know? Again, look for the address bar to Turn Green.
Do not be fooled by a logo of a trusted organization that is NOT valid. Double Click on the logo. If a window does not open, or the window that opens is for the same website, instead of the authoring website, you are being tricked. For example, we have noticed several website proudly displaying well known logos and some not so well known, that are not legitimate.
