Secure transactions
HP.com is committed to ensuring the security of your information. We've put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online, and we provide a safe shopping guarantee.
Secure storage of your information
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, the industry standard for protecting your on-line commerce transactions. It encrypts your credit card number, name, and address so they can't be read while traveling over the Internet.
What to look for
- A picture
of a padlock either at the bottom of your browser or to the right of a page address in the address bar tells you the connection is protected by SSL. Always make sure the padlock is there, is closed, and is free from warnings such as an exclamation mark.
- The address of any page from which we collect your personal information will always begin with https:// and not http://. Always validate that in addition to seeing https:// that the lock displayed by the browser is locked and free of warnings.
- Our site has been designed to minimize security warnings. It is up to you to understand when these warnings should or should not be accepted based on the particular browser you are using and transaction you are performing.
