Creative Chocolates of Vermont, Inc., Goes Secure
In order to better serve our customers, and to
increase the number of credit cards that we can accept,
Creative Chocolates of Vermont, Inc. has made the move
to a secure server. What does this mean? It
means that when you purchase items online, you can rest
assured that your credit card information is being
encrypted using 128 bit encryption (the best out there)
before it is sent over the internet so as to keep your
credit card information safe from being
intercepted.
Just look for the yellow lock on the bottom right
corner of your browser's status bar when you are
prompted for your credit card information. The
lock tells you that your information is encrypted via
128 bit encryption.
To take this one step further, we ask that you
provide your Credit Card Security Code. The code
is a 3 or 4 digit number that is printed (not raised) on
your credit card. This number is not read in by
card processors or traditional credit card receipt
stampers so, in theory, the only one who has this
information is you, the card owner.

Code (CSC) or otherwise known as a Card Identification
Number (CID)? Read
