Your credit card information is secure on our server because we have taken many precautions to protect your transactions.   Even though it is slightly inconvenient, we do not keep your credit card number on file.  Whether ordering by phone or Internet, you must provide your credit card number each time you place an order.  We at PC People believe this to be the best, most honest way to safeguard our customers.

Our servers are equipped with industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for the connection between your browser and sensitive areas of our site.  When entering these sensitive areas, you will see a pop-up window with a warning. Continuing here means that you will enter the checkout and information area, which is the safest, most secure area of our Web site. You will also be assured of safe transactions when you see the padlock or key at the bottom of your browser.

You will not be assured of safe transactions when you see a broken padlock or key at the bottom of the browser. This broken symbol means the information you submit is not secure and will not be encrypted. These images vary with different browsers and some don't even have them.

Another way to make sure your transactions will be secure by encryption is when your URL location shows https:// instead of http://.

Lastly, SSL also assures you are still on the PC People Web site and not moved to another questionable domain's server.

We want you to feel completely safe when placing orders with pcPeople. If you have any other questions regarding placement of your order, please call (800.877.9761) and ask for one of our e-com specialists.
