SHIVALOKA uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt and protect the data you send us over the internet. If SSL is enabled, you will see a padlock at the top of your browser and you can click on this to find out more information about the SSL digital certificate registration. You will also notice that when you look at the URL at the top of the browser you will see that it begins with ‘https’ instead of ‘http’. This means that you are in secure mode. We accept online payments through secure payment gateways Stripe and Paypal. All credit card information is encrypted and shared directly with them and never stored on our website.
