How can I make sure my online purchases are secure and that my personal information is protected?
user
Whenever you are making an online purchase, make sure that the URL of the website begins with "https" instead of just "http". This indicates that the website has enhanced security measures and a secure connection. Look for other trust markers like closed lock icons, GreenBar certificates and TRUSTe seals to ensure your connection is secure. Additionally, make sure you only purchase from reputable retailers and sites with excellent privacy policies that protect your personal data. Finally, check that your payment method offers advanced security measures such as two-factor authentication or automatic fraud monitoring.

First, ensure that you’re always on a secure website before entering any personal information by looking for the “https” instead of “http” in the URL. Secondly, check to make sure there is a lock icon at the bottom of your browser—this indicates that your data will be securely transmitted over a encrypted connection. Finally, always read over and understand privacy policies before providing any personal information as they detail what data is collected and how it’s used.
