SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer (yawn!!!). A secure connection or SSL, is an encryption technology that scrambles up your information and then sends it over the Internet. Without an SSL, data going over the Internet is viewable to anyone who intercepts it. A SSL does not need to be applied to an entire website, only personal and sensitive information. Westerly.com uses Paypal to process credit cards and they are the leader in fighting online credit card fraud. For the registered users part of the site, we utilize 128 bit encryption so all of your contact information and files are secure when they are being uploaded or downloaded.
