Choose pharmacies with SSL encryption; look for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. This ensures your data is protected during transmission.
Verify the pharmacy’s payment gateway uses established security protocols like PCI DSS. This certification shows they meet strict standards for handling credit card information.
Use trusted payment methods like PayPal or credit cards with fraud protection. These offer additional layers of security against unauthorized transactions.
Check the pharmacy’s privacy policy; confirm how they handle your personal and financial information. Transparency is key to building trust.
Be wary of pharmacies requesting unusual payment methods. Stick to established, secure options; avoid wire transfers or prepaid debit cards that offer less protection.
Monitor your bank and credit card statements regularly for any suspicious activity. Report any unauthorized charges immediately to your bank and the pharmacy.
Use strong, unique passwords for your online pharmacy accounts and change them periodically. A strong password significantly reduces your vulnerability.
Only use secure Wi-Fi networks when accessing your pharmacy account. Public Wi-Fi is vulnerable to data breaches.
