Although credit card theft is considerably less frequent on the internet than in the off-line  world, it is important to make sure that your customer's privacy is protected. 
no sensitive data in emails A number of e commerce sites notify the owner by email when an order is placed.

So will ours.

However, the email you and the confirming email that your customer receives will not contain any sensitive information.

 

  
All sensitive information is handled by  SSL. Secure Socket Layer ensures that the credit card and other information you enter is encrypted and remains private and protected. As long as your browser indicates a secure connection (usually by a graphic image of a lock in MS Explorer or a key in Netscape) your information will be encrypted.
 
SSL provides a range of security services for client/server sessions, including
        Server authentication: The server is authenticated to the client by demonstrating possession of a digital certificate. This proves to the originator that he or she is actually communicating with the intended Web site and not a site that is posing as that Web site to fraudulently gather credit card or personal information.

           Client authentication: This service authenticates to the server that the client is who he or she claims to be, protecting the business from fraudulent users and over non repudiation protection. 

           Integrity: Data items transferred are protected against attempts to modify data.

           Confidentiality: Users are assured that no unauthorized entity has access to the information being shared at the Web site. This protects sensitive information such as account numbers or credit card numbers against eavesdroppers.
