One of these is a key or lock symbol at the bottom line of your browser. This indicates that you are in a secure internet page and all your information is protected by being coded.  This information is only used subject to the sales transactions process and in accordance with your instructions. Independent from our shopping sites, information about the credit card used for sales transaction is coded with 128 bite SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and transmitted to the related bank for inquiry. Sales transaction continues if and when the availability of the card is approved.

Therefore, accuracy of the financial and address/telephone information of the clients who are ordering from our shopping site for the first time needs to be approved before their orders come to supply and delivery stages. Credit card holder client or the related bank is contacted for the control of this information when needed.

 

Only you may have access to and change all the information you have provided while subscribing as a member. If you safely protect your member login information it is not possible for other people to have access to or change your information. Therefore, all membership transactions are realized within the security margin of 128 bite SSL system. This system is an international coding standard which is impossible to be decoded.
