SAFETY SECURITY AND PRIVACY |

Website Security
|
|
|
|
|
If a Web site doesn't have their security set up properly, your credit card information
could be seen by any hacker
who cares to look at it. However, if the site's security is set up correctly, there
should never be a problem with you credit card information falling into the wrong
hands. Let's go over a few simple rules of thumb that you can use to protect yourself
when buying on the Internet. The first you should NEVER do is send a credit card
number through Email. It would be extremely easy for a knowledgeable hacker to intercept
an Email message--which would be very
bad if it contained information like your credit card number. If a site wants you
to buy something by sending your
credit card number to them through Email, just keep on shopping. It's not worth
the risk. The second thing you should never do is enter credit card information
unless the site is secure. |

Security Analysis
|
|
|
|
|
A better way to tell if a form really is secure is by looking at the address bar
in your browser (see the picture below). When you're looking at the form where you're
supposed to enter your credit card number, the address should begin with "https://",
not "http://". That little letter "s" in there means that the information that you're
sending the site through the form is encrypted, which means that even if someone
intercepts the information, they won't be able to
do anything with it. Any questions regarding our virtual secured web server could
be directed to support@icom.com . Usually, shopping on the Web is much safer than
shopping over the phone, or even through the mail. There's a much smaller chance
that a telephone operator or a waiter will write down your credit card number and
then sell it.

Security Measures
|
|
|
|
|
We use only the most advanced technology to protect the information that’s important
to you. Our secure server software, Secure Socket Layer (which is supported by Netscape
and Microsoft IE and most frames-enabled browsers) keeps all of your personal information,
including your credit card number, name, address and email address, totally safe
from unauthorized access. Once you begin a transaction, the rest of your visit will
take place on our secure server. If you are using either Netscape or Microsoft browsers,
a small key or padlock will appear in the bottom right corner of your browser, reminding
you of the security of your transaction. Should unauthorized use of your credit
card occur for reasons unkunown, most banks cover all charges resulting from the
unauthorized use or may limit your liability to just $50.

However, in the event that your bank should hold you liable, we will cover your
liability up to $50 providing that the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted
through no fault of your own from purchases made at FreeShop while using the secure
server.Platinum-diamond.com. is an authorized participant in MasterCard's Shop Smart!
program and provides today's best available means to safeguard your transactions.
Lets check out one of our secured ordering pages. If it is secure the lock or padlock
should close.
