Is ordering online secure?
Online payment is made secure with encryption techniques (SSL and PGP). This means that the details (like credit card details) are made unreadable for others. When the details arrive on our web site we encrypt them again and remove them from the server. For more information, see why online ordering is secure.
Our Secure Software (SSL) is the industry standard which utilizes 256 bit encryption and is among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts your credit card number so that it cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties when it is submitted for processing. In addition, we’re PCI compliant, which means nexteve.com does not locally save your credit card information. The credit card information you provide during checkout goes directly to the Authorize.net, the industry standard for online payment processing. After payment is finished, your credit card information is erased from our server, so nobody has the chance to access your credit card information.

A. Yes. We take the utmost care with the information that you provide us when placing an order on our website (or through any other means as well). The server that hosts our bookstore encrypts the transmission of all credit card and personal customer information using the Internet-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol. During the encryption process, information is scrambled into small bits of code that cannot be read as they travel to us over the internet. Once we receive the encrypted information, we use a private, one-of-a-kind key to decode it. All of the information you provide during the ordering process is restricted to our staff, and we make sure to keep all of our employees up-to-date on our security and privacy policies. If you have any further questions about the security of ordering online from the Worldwatch Institute, please feel free to e-mail our webmaster at webmaster@worldwatch.org.
