Payments are completely secure. ChefTap does not handle payments, and your credit card information is never stored on our servers. We use stripe (
stripe.com) for all of our transactions. One of the reasons we chose stripe is because they are obsessed with security. They take the payment information over their HTTPS connection, process the charge and then give us a customer ID that we can use to handle support issues. We never even see your credit card information.
In addition, our entire site is protected with an SSL certificate. If you go to any page that has your recipes or personal information, you will see the familiar lock icon that indicates that the site is protected.
