Privacy Statement

Site Security Is it safe to accept customers' credit cards over the Internet? Absolutely. School Bus Merchandise, LLC. uses ProStores.com for our online services. Prostores uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL), also known as secure order protection, secure certificate or digital certificate. Developed by Netscape, SSL is a protocol for securely encrypting and transmitting electronic information between web servers across the Internet, and is the most popular method for ensuring the secure transmission of credit card data and consumer information. Why is SSL important? Every time an e-commerce transaction is conducted on the Internet, personal confidential data like credit card numbers or social security numbers are exchanged among the shopper, the merchant and the appropriate parties involved in the transaction process like a payment processor. This information is susceptible to interception by unauthorized third parties and malicious attacks by computer hackers. SSL protects against these risks. At the same time, it also authenticates or validates the ownership of a website and ensures that the submitted data is supplied to the rightful storefront owner and the appropriate parties involved in the purchase transaction. SSL is a critical requirement for conducting responsible, competitive e-commerce. Many savvy shoppers will not make purchases at websites that lack the level of security expected from e-commerce sites today. In fact, merchants with SSL-enabled sites may likely witness an increase in business simply by providing consumers the peace of mind that their personal information and consumer data is safeguarded.
