Site Security

Magellan's Catalog is very concerned about our customers' security.

This website secures all sensitive information by using 128-bit SSL (secure socket layers) encryption. You need a browser that supports SSL.

Because secure transaction processing slows things down a bit, most sites (including ours) do not secure the transaction until you reach the screens where you are entering personal data such as your address and credit card number. So, while you are perusing the catalog and adding items to the shopping basket, the secure processing is turned off. When you begin our checkout process, you will probably notice that the padlock icon then appears. (Where it appears is dependent on which browser and version you are using). This icon lets you know that you have entered a secured section of our website. You may find yourself jumping back and forth from the secure area to the un-secure area. Rest assured that all sensitive information remains completely secure.
