PayPal protects your card information with industry-leading security and fraud prevention systems. When you use PayPal, your financial information is never shared with Your Next Step or any other business or individual.
PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128 bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to the PayPal site, the server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information reaches PayPal, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal servers are behind an electronic firewall and are never directly connected to the internet, so your private information stays private.
