When you order through the FunkyTrunks website your credit card and other
personal information is
encrypted before it leaves your computer to go over the internet. Our
secure encrypting is provided by Yahoo Store, the leading internet
retail hosting service, and is the same technology used by leading banks and
online retailers. Look
for the 
icon in the status bar along the
bottom of your browser window after you press the 
button from the
shopping cart window (to enable the status bar, select "Status Bar"
from the "View" menu in Internet Explorer, or the "View",
"Show/Hide" menu in Netscape). Transmitting your card over a secure internet connection
is probably safer than reading it over a phone, and certainly safer than using
it in store or restaurant.
Consumers should also be aware that regardless of security, their liability in
the case of unauthorized use of a credit card is limited by law to $50, and in practice
nearly all card issuers set this liability to zero (check with your credit card
issuer for details). Using a credit card is generally the safest way
to buy anywhere, online or otherwise.
