About Security & Privacy

All of your order information is confidential and encrypted so it cannot be accessed by anyone outside of NathansFamous.com. We use the industry leading technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to ensure that your information and credit card number are safely transported online. Our security supplier is Verisign. Their logo is prominent on all of our shopping cart pages when you are ordering. Click on their logo and they will show proof of our secure certificate. Another way to find out if your transaction is guarded by SSL is this:

When you enter click CHECKOUT in our shopping cart, look for the picture of the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and most other browsers use SSL). Either indicator means SSL is hard at work. Another easy way you can tell if SSL is guarding your transaction is to check the URL address at the top of the page. It should change from "http" to "https" when processing secure transactions.

NOTE: The lock may be closed but can have a slash and the red colored background. This means that the connection is secure, but images or other content is not encrypted. This good on busy sites like Nathan's as it means the server is more efficient. Remember, the lock must be closed and there must be 'https' in the location box for there to be a secure connection between your browser and Nathan's server.
