Ministry Ideaz

Your transactions are 100% protected from Internet and credit card fraud.

Ministry Ideaz is dedicated to providing a secure on-line environment. We believe that your online shopping experience should be convenient, fun, and most of all, safe. While browsing our web store, you can rest assured that we have your security in mind. You will notice the little "padlock" icon in the bottom corner of your web browser. You will also notice that our website starts with https (not just htttp). The "S" stands for "secure." We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, the most powerful encryption technology available in the marketplace today.

Therefore, all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address is encrypted, so that the information cannot be read as it travels over the Internet. Our servers that receive your order sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers.

If you use PayPal, we here at Ministry Ideaz don't even see the credit card details. All we get is a notice about your order, and that the payment was received by our bank and deposited in our account. This is different that using a credit card in a store where the merchant has a copy of the receipt (which could inadvertently fall into the wrong hands). So all in all, using your credit card in our web store can be safer than using it in a restaurant or a gas station. We encourage you to carefully review PayPal's Data Security and Encryption page if you have further questions.
