At SunshinePuppy.org we use SSL ecryption technology to secure the transmission of the personal payment information which you provide when ordering from us. You can always determine when you are on a page which will be sent securely by checking the web address in your browser window. The intial letters on the web address are "http" on unsecure pages, and "https" on secure pages, the "s" at the end standing for "secure". We also offer payment by Paypal which also uses SSL ecryption technology.

Here are some tips to help you shop more safely on the Internet

Most of the popular web browsers (such as Firefox, AOL Explorer, Internet Explorer,and Safari) support SSL technology. To ensure you're getting the best protection available, we recommend using the latest version of your browser software and downloading security updates as they become available.

Always order from sites with SSL encryption. Look for the "https" in the web address of the payment page.

Email is not a secure form of communication. Please do not send us your credit card number or other personal information via email.

It is best to place orders from private computers. Ordering from public computers is more risky. Order from public computers only if you are sure they are maintained by a trusted source, and always be sure to log out of your Sunshine Puppy account and shut down the web browser before leaving the computer.

It is good practice to access websites directly by typing the address into the browser's address field. To access our website directly, type www.SunshinePuppy.org in your browser's address field. If you are presented with a link to SunshinePuppy.org in an email or on another site, and are unsure whether it is valid, do not click the link.

Install software only if you are certain it is from a trusted source.
