SECURITY

Much has been made about the security of Internet commerce, for little reason. In fact, online shopping with Melitta.com is safer than the way we all have done business for years. Here's why:

• When you shop with us, the information you provide is protected within a secure, encrypted environment, a standard known as Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL. (Unless you have turned the feature off, your browser will display a notice saying that you are about to enter a secure web site; this is your assurance that the information you provide is sent only to Melitta.com and that our server is certified secure.)

• We have taken every measure to protect our servers and networks with state-of-the-art firewalls. Behind these barriers, your information is stored on a secure server in an encrypted form.

• Your payment information is referenced to your account and kept in our system; it is never exposed in transit to another location or part.
