BoyUgly uses the latest data encryption technology to ensure that your personal information is safe and secure and unavailable for any snoopers to steal and view. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a high-security feature built into major browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Netscape Navigator. BoyUgly uses the highest form of of this data encryption when transmitting any personal data - High Grade Encryption AES 256 bit.

When you send your credit card information, it is scrambled in such a way that only BoyUgly or its payment providers, Paypal or Google Checkout, can receive and decode it, thus ensuring safety and confidentiality. We use Paypal and Google Checkout, two of the most common web payment options, so that you have a choice to never let BoyUgly even view your credit card information. If you trust Paypal and/or Google Checkout and have been using them you may do so with BoyUgly as well.

You can tell when secure mode is activated by noting a gold lock or key on your browser's taskbar which indicates that you are in a secure area of our system. When you see the lock icon in your browser, you will know that your data is completely safeguarded. You will note it whenever the url you are on begins "https" as opposed to the unsecure version "http".

Ordering from the BoyUgly online shopping system using your credit card is actually safer than using your card at the typical retail outlet or restaurant. Out in public it is possible that an unscrupulous employee can copy your credit card information. With an online retailer such as BoyUgly, only the owner has possible access to your credit card information and if you use Paypal or Google Checkout, not even the owner has it.

All of these security measures virtually guarantee that your data is safe. As an added measure of protection, however, U.S. consumer protection laws protect you against the unauthorized use of your credit card. Under federal law, if someone you have not authorized does use your credit card number, your liability is limited to $50 no matter how much is charged to your account. Contact your credit card issuer for details.

Online security is a top priority at BoyUgly!
