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.

Cookies

The HP Home & Home Office Store uses cookies (a small piece of information stored on your computer's hard drive), to tell us when you're visiting our site. This lets us give you a personalized shopping experience but doesn't compromise the security of your information.

Credit card information

Allowing us to save your credit card information for future shopping convenience is up to you. Encryption protects your credit card data.

Fraud

Preventing credit-card fraud is important to the HP Home & Home Office Store. Because we use real-time payment processing, we subscribe to a fraud risk management service. The secure data transfer and validation process between the service and the HP Home & Home Office Store is bound by contractual and confidentiality agreements.

Safe shopping guarantee

We're so sure that our on-line system is secure that we back it with our safe shopping guarantee: you pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your credit card as a result of shopping at the HP Home & Home Office Store.
