GeoClock Order Form Security

GeoClock uses its own unique security system to protect your credit card information. While no web based security system is perfect, our method has two great advantages over the 40 and 128 bit public key based systems used by most "secure" browsers:

The data is not TRANSMITTED unencrypted on the web or on any web connected computer.

The data is not STORED anywhere unencrypted on the web or on any web connected computer.

Every documented case where credit card info was stolen from the web, including the story that broke on 2000/01/10, were shopping cart type systems using 40/128 bit security. In these cases, the data was stolen by hacking into the host site and accessing the data in the clear. In our case, the data remains encrypted until it gets to a computer with no web connection (or even a modem) for processing and record keeping.

In addition, having your credit card number stolen is a problem for merchants, not you or your credit card company. Your credit card company will refund any disputed charges, and then take the money from the merchant. It is up to the merchant to sue (if he can find) the fradulent user of the card number.
