Safe, Secure Transactions
To protect your personal and credit card information when you purchase an item, the Scout Shop On-Line Store encrypts and transmits the data using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology and 256-bit RSA encryption. This technology is used by millions of ecommerce web sites, and other sites which accept personal information. It is a protocol developed to ensure secure internet transactions, and represents the industry standard for security. Secure Sockets Layer works by using a private key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. Your purchase data is only decrypted at the point when we are ready to charge to your credit card and ship your order; so you may feel doubly secure.
