- Is my credit card information secure?
Dnata Travel provides you with the industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology that encrypts personal data and online payment information that is transferred across the Internet from your computer to Dnata Travel. This makes it safer than providing your credit card information over the phone.

- What is SSL?
Dnata Travel uses the powerful SSL technology for secure transmissions. SSL applies 128-bit encryption to provide confidentiality between your computer and Dnata Travel. That's why you must use an SSL-enabled browser to make a reservation with Dnata Travel. When your data is transmitted over the Internet, it is encrypted at the sending end and then decrypted at the receiving end. All information is kept on a secure server and is protected by a firewall. As an added precaution, the firewall is monitored for security breach attempts.

- How do I know if the connection is secure?
The common Internet symbol that signifies a secure site is a closed lock icon at the bottom of the browser. As long as the lock is displayed as closed, your information is secure and encrypted to avoid abuse. If you click the secure transaction link and still cannot see the closed lock, your windows may be hidden behind a series of nested frames. To ensure you have a secure connection for Internet Explorer, click the right mouse button on the Web page, view the “Properties” menu, and then click on “Certificates”. Then you will see if the connection is secure or not. If you use Netscape, click the right mouse button and then ‘View Frame Info.’ At the bottom of the text, you will see security information.
