Portland Running Company's Pledge of Security How can I be sure this web site is secure? RunPortlandRun.com uses DXStorm, Inc. as its secure shopping-cart provider. Our servers are protected by a wide range of proprietary security features. Our shopping cart is protected with SSL, which is the strongest encryption possible. DX Storm guarantees triple DES encryption of all our stored transaction data. We are very pleased with the protection and service that they provide. But my browser doesn't show a secure lock. What's the deal with that? The "Locked" button on your browser shows when you are on a web page that is secure. The "Unlocked" button indicates when you are not on a secure page. On our site, NONE of the pages are secure EXCEPT the shopping cart pages. The pop-up product windows are regular web pages until you press the "Buy this Shoe" button. From that click on, anything you enter is fully secure. (You're probably noticing the Unlocked button on the browser in the background. These pop-up windows don't have a Locked/Unlocked notification.) If you still are hesitant to use our shopping cart, simply use the "Callback" feature and we'll give you a call to arrange payment over the phone. Thanks for shopping with us!
