Our checkout process is secured by HTTPS / TLS encryption and it is safe for our customers to purchase from our store.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and secure. TLS is the industry standard and is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers.
Additionally, our store only works with Stripe and Paypal payment gateways which offer the highest level of security certification (PCI DSS Level 1).
