Security & Online Shopping

We strive to make your online shopping experience at the Top Tag Pet ID website as secure, comfortable and safe as shopping at your favorite mall or retailer.  No one can read or tamper with your information during the transaction.

All transactions are processed through our Yahoo! Store and are safeguarded by the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Your credit card number and your billing and shipping address is encrypted and scrambled as it travels over the internet.

Your personal information is ready to be protected the moment you click the checkout button in the shopping cart. The remainder of your transaction is processed on Yahoo!’s Secure 128-bit SSL encryption server.  We chose the Yahoo! Store platform for this reason.  It is a secure shopping experience and all of our customers will be protected.

SPECIAL NOTE:  Please do not send your credit card number or any other important number in an email.  E-mail is not encrypted and therefore not protected.
