Security Aspects of Shopping on This Site

Shopping at the R G Networks Online Shop is completely safe. We use secure SSL encryption between your browser and our servers to ensure that your personal details are not disclosed to any third party.     Is It Safe to Shop on the Internet? When you shop on the Internet, you have the same concerns as you do when you use a mail-order catalogue to shop over the telephone. Impersonation: Is the business receiving my order authentic? Eavesdropping: Could someone "listen in" to my order and steal my credit card number? In the real world, you often give your credit card to cashiers or waiters and you give out your account number over the phone when placing an order. Using your credit card number on a bone fide Internet site such as R G Netwworks is far less dangerous than these practices because all reputable internet shop sites force your browser software to encode your transaction, so that in the extremely unlikely event outside parties intercept it, they won't be able to read it. Netscape and Microsoft browsers counter security threats with a technology called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL is a set of rules followed by computers connected to the Internet. These rules include encryption, which guards against eavesdropping; data integrity, which assures that your communications aren't tampered with during transmission; and authentication, which verifies that the party actually receiving your communication is who it claims to be. To check a site's security status: Look at the site's URL in your browser window. An "s" added to the familiar "http" (to make "https") indicates that SSL is in effect. In Netscape Navigator 3.0 and earlier, the broken key symbol in the lower-left corner of your browser window becomes solid when you are in secure mode. In Netscape Communicator 4.0 and 4.5, the padlock symbol in the corner, usually open, is closed in secure mode. In Internet Explorer 4.0, a closed padlock appears when you are in secure mode. If you're about to send information to a site that's not using SSL, your browser will warn you first. SSL protects your communications during transmission. However, you must also protect yourself by dealing only with Internet companies you are certain you can trust, just as you deal only with merchants who won't share your credit card numbers with others. The Federal Trade Commission is increasing its surveillance of Internet fraud, and the National Consumers League has created the Internet Fraud Watch, an online service for reporting frauds. Padlock Issues R G Networks' Online Shop uses 128-bit SSL encryption to help ensure the security and confidentiality of your information. You cannot use this service unless you are 128-bit SSL enabled. Customers using Microsoft® Internet Explorer® for Windows® should check this by holding the mouse pointer over the padlock symbol on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. What if the padlock symbol is not displayed in the Microsoft® Internet Explorer® status bar? Some versions of Microsoft® Internet Explorer® may not display the padlock symbol in the status bar. This is a known defect in Microsoft® Internet Explorer® versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 4.01, 5.x and may occur if the browser does not recognise a secure protocol or if you are viewing a secure web page, such as the R G Networks Online Shop Order Page, inside a frame. To check the version number of Microsoft® Internet Explorer®: Select Help in the menu at the top of your browser toolbar Select About Internet Explorer Although the padlock indicator does not appear on the status bar, Microsoft® states on the Microsoft® Product Support Services page that the connection is still secure. To configure your browser to prompt you each time you enter or leave a secure web page: Select View or Tools from the toolbar Select Internet Options Select the Advanced tab Scroll down to the Security section Check the box to "warn if changing between secure and not secure mode" Return to the R G Networks Shop The R G Networks Online Shop is Powered by Quikstore Sales Queries.
