Our goal is to make you feel comfortable shopping online for your DogTracsTM monitoring and location system.

Secure Ordering Process – Transaction Security
Any credit card information you enter on our website is strongly encrypted by industry-standard protocol, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL technology is the industry standard method of communicating secure online transactions and is built into most major browsers. The secure mode begins when you initiate your order. DogTracs.com uses SSL to communicate with secure browsers. These browsers encrypt your credit card and personal information in a way that makes it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept and misuse while being transmitted between your computer and our server.
Secured communications on the web require attention to authentication, encryption and data integrity. All three are addressed by SSL protocol. Authentication is the process of establishing that you are communicating with our web server, as opposed to another server assuming our identity. We have obtained a VerisignTM digital security certificate for DogTracs.com. VerisignTM is an independent third party that authenticates the identity of others on the Internet. The VerisignTM certificate confirms that we are the recipients of your communication. Encryption is the process of scrambling data (through the use of keys and mathematical encoding algorithms) to prohibit anyone from understanding it if they intercept the data while it is on its way from your browser to our server. Encryption protects communications between your browser and our mainframe system. We have also implemented a firewall to protect all of our systems from intrusion. Data Integrity ensures the data passed between your browser and our server is not being tampered with while in transit. SSL protects information en route to us, and as mentioned, the VerisignTM certificate confirms that we are the recipients of this information. You can be assured that we strive to protect your data with the utmost care at all points in the process. However, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. Therefore, we do not warrant or ensure the security of any information sent to us online.
Once you have completed your order online, our security procedures do not end. We take appropriate precautions to protect the security and privacy of the information stored on our computer network. The system that stores your personal information is not connected to the Internet, reducing the likelihood of security breaches. We store and process your personal information on computers that are housed in a secure facility and are protected by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption and we enforce physical access controls to our computer systems and files. Once your order is processed, we will not retain your credit card number in our online systems. Only DogTracs.com employees who require your personal Information to serve you have access to your data, which is password protected.
If you are still unsure about providing your credit card information over the Internet, please feel free to fax your order to us. Our fax number for orders is (866) 903-6216.
