|
| Why do you use PayPal to process credit cards? |

For your safety and security Operation Freedom Memorial uses the PayPal service owned by Ebay to process your credit card. PayPal uses state of the art security to keep your data safe. Your transaction is processed on PayPal’s secure servers; Operation Freedom Memorial NEVER sees or has access to your credit card account numbers.
The PayPal process is:
On Your Computer: When you register or log in to PayPal, PayPal confirms that your browser is running Secure Socket Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher, which gives you the maximum possible protection.
When Information is in Transit: All of your information is protected by SSL, with an encryption key length of 168 bits-the highest level commercially available.
On Our Website Servers: Your personal information is stored on PayPal’s servers and heavily guarded, both physically and electronically. And to give your credit card and bank numbers an extra layer of protection, PayPal does not directly connect their firewall-protected servers to the Internet. |
