Information
Secure Ordering
Shopping online at Advantage Services is
extremely Safe. When you submit sensitive
information via the website, we protect your
information both online and offline. When we
request sensitive information (such as credit
card, name, address, etc) on our
registration/order form, that information is
encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL. When
you’re on a secure page, such as our order
form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just
”surfing.” While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect your
information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is protected.
