ANSWER: This is still a concern today even though there are many online sales being conducted on websites across the country. Security is an issue in any business operation. In actuality, it is generally safer to use your credit card online than in a physical store, simply because more steps are taken to safeguard and secure the data. If the website is taking advantage of SSL Secure Servers and using high-level encryption techniques, your information is quite safe. It cannot be read intransit nor accessed by outside parties. VideoReef.com uses all these systems and methods to insure the security of your transaction online. It is highly unlikely that you are taking a risk in using your credit card to place an order on our site. As Web Developers we can say that from a technical perspective the systems in use at VideoReef.com are as secure as any available online.
