Security and Privacy

I Want you to Feel Comfortable Placing an Order!

I know that you are concerned about Internet security. So am I! That's why we have built in some of the most advanced security technologies available for an on-line shopping site. The Store portion of Robert's Anime Corner uses a server which supports advanced 128-bit SSL encryption. Here's how it works:


SSL encryption is active on our site in all areas where customer information is requested. You can check to see that you have entered an SSL-active area by looking on the bottom of your screen. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), you will know that SSL technology is in place and ready to encrypt your information.

You'll see a key (Netscape) or a closed lock (AOL & Internet Explorer).

You can also check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When you are in an SSL-active area, the first letters of our website address will change from "http:" to "https:" (the 's' means 'secure').

When you place your order with my store online, your information is transmitted across the Internet in an encrypted (scrambled) form, which is then decoded when it gets to our computers here. Your personal information, including your credit card information, is safe from prying eyes.

Shop with confidence!
