Our payment processing system uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology - the industry standard for encryption technology. SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-commerce sites. SSL technology is compatible with most browsers. SSL encrypts all information (e.g. your credit card number) passed from your browser to our payment gateway, making it almost impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorized party, as long as your browser and local network supports the use of encrypted data transmissions.

In order to maintain security of this information, credit card details will not be stored on our servers, but only used on an individual transaction basis (i.e., customers enter their credit-card details each time they order). Crate Expectations will not have access to credit card details entered on the web.
