Basically, encryption encodes your information. To steal your information from the Internet, someone must first find your encrypted information packet (which is flying across the Internet at light speed) - then crack the code. Nobody has ever claimed that this has been done. Indeed, if it were possible, the most sensitive information in the world would be available to them - not just your credit card number.

As an added protection, when you return to our site and use the same billing method, you will not be asked to provide your credit card information again. It will already be stored securely on file.

Look at it this way: you probably already transmit your credit card number electronically every day. When you swipe your credit card at the local store, your card information is encrypted and transmitted over a phone network. Using your card on a secure online Web site is very similar - your information is encrypted and then transmitted over a high-speed network line. Tens of thousands of customers have utilized Onvia’s products and services safely and securely without any fraudulent use of their credit card.

If you still have concerns about the safe use of your credit card online, please contact us (if by email, at webmaster@memorialsonline.com).
