Typically – online – your credit card and information is entered into a ‘secured’ website (SSL), which encrypte the message – which can be de-encrypted (of sorts) by the payment gateway (only) – and from there sent into the authorization networks finding its way to your issuing bank – who checks your balance and grants either a ‘status: open to buy’ or a ‘decline’. The order information (with out the full credit card information) is sent to the merchant. It never sees a human’s eyes.
Billions a day go through this – very little to worry about – as the miniscule amounts that are hacked (and the media blows way out of proportion) isn’t even 1/10 of 1%
