Security:
We understand and share your concern about security and privacy. The information that you provide when placing an order with us (e.g. your name, address, and credit card information) is secure. It cannot be read or tampered with during transmission.

The Okaloosagas.com Online Store is hosted by Volusion® on its secure servers, and our orders are processed using their shopping cart. Our check¬out process uses industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt and scramble all personal information includ¬ing your name, address, and credit card information so that it may not be read by others as it travels over the Internet. During an online transaction, an SSL Certificate turns sensitive data into secure code. A web browser then checks the SSL Certificate to en¬sure that the website is legitimate. Once verified, the browser and server communicate to process the encoded information.

Volusion® is fully PCI/CISP certified, meaning that they exceed industry standards in solidifying hardware and hosting facilities. The online store has passed inspection from an independent auditor who performs on-site assessments and they complete a rigorous screening process to remain on Visa's certification list. For your security, we authorize your credit card after we obtain confirmation that your card is a valid number and has not been reported lost or stolen. We also verify that the "Bill To" address matches the address on the credit card used. It is not uncommon for a request for credit card authorization to fail at times. We will contact you if we experience such difficulties and you may wish to provide another credit card. E-mail is not encrypted so please do not transmit your credit card number via e-mail.
