When you click Check Out, you enter a secure area of the DeLorme Web site. Most browsers indicate security by a closed padlock or an unbroken key in your status bar.

At that point, every communication between your browser and our server is encrypted. That means your sensitive personal information -- your name, address and credit card number -- is not traveling over the Internet in an easy-to-read format. Instead, using a sophisticated encryption technique (SSL - 'Secure Sockets Layer', the industry standard encryption technology for online transactions), your browser is disguising that information and sending it to our server, which knows how to decrypt the message.

Most browsers support SSL. If your browser does not support SSL security, however, you can order DeLorme products by calling 800-561-5105.
