Your Security

At lukeslobster.com, we prioritize keeping your financial details private and secure. Here's how we do it:

  1. Secure Online Shopping: We use QualitySSL, a top-notch security technology, to encrypt your order information. This means your data is turned into a code that's extremely hard to read, ensuring your transaction is safe and processed immediately.
  2. Safe Credit Card Transactions: When you buy something, the credit card details are handled in a secure part of our website. This prevents any misuse or unauthorized access to your information. You'll know you're in a secure area when you see a yellow padlock icon at the bottom left of your screen and the web address begins with lukeslobster.com. This secure zone is where you'll stay throughout the entire checkout process.
  3. Trusted Partnerships: We work with third-party companies for credit card processing, shipping, and website hosting. These partners only get the information they need to do their jobs. We make sure they follow strict rules to keep your information safe and private, in line with federal standards.
  4. Staff Training and Policies: Our team is trained to protect your personal information. They're instructed to use this information only for business reasons, ensuring your privacy is respected.
  5. Legal Compliance: If the law requires it, we may have to share certain personal details about you. This would only happen if ordered by a court or if we believe it's necessary to follow legal requirements.

Your security is our top concern, and we're committed to ensuring a safe and trustworthy shopping experience at lukeslobster.com.
