The JoeBrands sites are secured by an SSL certificate issued by Comodo, which uses 1024 bit RSA encryption during the entire checkout process, including transmission of personal information and credit card numbers. This means that all personal data is encrypted for transmission and can only be viewed by JoeBrands.coms e-commerce server. Anyone trying to intercept data during transfer would only capture gibberish. Customers can verify this information by looking for the little "lock" icon on the bottom of their browser during checkout. When the lock is closed, that means that all transmissions are encrypted. You can double-click on the lock to get the details of the certificate and verify its validity.
