SSL Certificate

Security online is important to us and our users. An SSL certificate meets the demand for safe interaction over the net.

SSL, short for secure sockets layer, is a protocol developed for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that’s transferred over the SSL connection, such as credit card numbers.

Conventionally URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:. The certificate is installed on a secure server and used to identify the merchant using it and to encrypt the credit card, and other sensitive data.

Across the Ecothrive website and web-shop, areas where sensitive data are requested are automatically protected by SSL.
