The security of the information regarding your order is very important to us. We use the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to protect the security of your online order information. SSL technology encrypts your order information to protect it from being decoded by anyone other than Madewell.

Once you enter the checkout page, your computer will begin communicating with our server in secure mode. You can tell that you are in secure mode by the following:

• The "http" in the web address will be replaced by "https."
• Depending on the browser, you will see either a padlock (Microsoft Internet Explorer, AOL, Netscape Communicator) or a solid key (Netscape Navigator) in the lower section of the browser window.

Only browsers that use the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer protocol are able to order through the Madewell web site. If your browser does not support SSL, you can get an upgrade at Microsoft's or Netscape's home page. Click here for more detailed instructions.
