How Paypal Supports You

Transaction Monitoring

Paypal has hundreds of highly trained specialists working around the clock to prevent fraudulent activity and identify suspicious transactions.

Secure Financial Information

When you use PayPal for online purchases, your financial information will NEVER! be shared with poochalicious. All you give us is your email address-because your payment details are already safely stored on paypals secure servers..

Securing Your Information With Data Incryption

Sending sensitive information like account numbers or social insurance numbers via email is never a good idea. If you need to provide this kind of information, a phone call is best. That said, PayPal helps keep your information as secure as possible-with automatic encryption for all of your sensitive information and email communications..

Here's how they do it:

On Your Computer:

When you register or log in to PayPal, they will confirm that your browser is running Secure Socket Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher, which gives you the maximum possible protection..

When Information is in Transit:

All of your information is protected by SSL, with an encryption key length of 168 bits-the highest level commercially available..

On Our Website Servers:

Your personal information will be stored on our servers and heavily guarded, both physically and electronically. And to give your credit card and bank numbers an extra layer of protection, we do not directly connect our firewall-protected servers to the Internet. There are many reasons that millions of people trust PayPal with their finances, and data encryption is one of the most important.
