Ecommerce Security

We understand that shopping online can feel risky. Because your credit card security is our highest priority, HPSC has taken several steps to ensure that your payment information is processed confidentially and accurately.

HPSC servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an advanced encryption technology that works with Netscape Navigator (versions5.0 and above), Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 8.0 and above)
