| Security Information for
our shoppers
The Dog Training shop, a web site owned and operated
by Contractors Depot, is committed to the highest level
of security commercially available.
Our dedicated secure shopping server is
https://www.1-stopmall.net which is owned and operated
by Contractors Depot.
To keep sensitive information safe:
- We use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on areas of
our sites where you are entering personal or payment
information. This means that this information is
encrypted between your computer and ours, and no one
else can normally decipher it. You can tell that you
are in a secure area of any of our websites because
the URL in your browser's Address Bar starts with https://,
rather than http://, and there is a small
padlock displayed at the bottom of your browser
window. See the figures below:

- Our encryption is the strongest commercially
available - 128K - and is approved by the
authorities and financial institutions.
| Additionally, an independent, trusted
third party - in this case Verisign - has
issued us with a certificate which proves
Contractors Depot's right to use the domain
name 1-stopmall.net in a secure environment,
and who can clarify that we are who we say
we are. Click on the logo if you would like
to verify this.

- Because we use online credit card authorization,
your card details get transmitted directly and
securely to the bank for processing. Therefore even
Contractors Depot staff do not see your card details
(unless arranging a credit), making them even safer.
We believe that shopping online with Contractors
Depot - with the carefully thought-out procedures
mentioned above - is as safe or safer than using a
credit card over the telephone or in a restaurant.
