Security

VLBO.com has set many security measures in place to defend against the loss, abuse, and transformation of information under our control. Private data such as credit card and billing information is protected by our 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption instrument.

What is SSL?

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is the leading standard internet protocol for encrypting browsers and web servers. With SSL being the leading standard for encrypting, that means it involves putting information into code or ciphering. Basically SSL was designed to hide your private information (putting it into some sort of code) from nosy intruders and only allow you and the web host to see it. You can be sure your information is safe when you see our URL starts with "https".
