The Shade Store uses a secure sockets layer (SSL) that encrypts all your information - from your name to your credit card number - for complete security and privacy. The process is safer than swiping your card at any retail store. We use Verisign to provide this SSL - the most trusted name in the industry. Please know, we also do not store your credit card information for added security.

In addition, The Shade Store uses a program called Hacker Safe, which scans this website every day to make sure it is hacker safe.

You will see both the Verisign and Hacker Safe logos at the time of check out which means we are in compliance with their standards and guidelines and that this is a completely secure and safe website.
