This site is hosted by Yahoo! Store. Yahoo! hosts the store pages, ordering system, and order data. Yahoo! automatically collects order information but may only use this information in the aggregate. If you accessed this store through Yahoo! Shopping, Yahoo! also automatically collects information about your shopping experience. Please see the Yahoo! Privacy Policy for more information about how Yahoo! uses this information.

What the above paragraph is saying is that the site is hosted by yahoo and therefore they host the network that is used to process orders and therefore they receive ordering information, but it is encrypted so that it cannot be stolen by anyone and is only used for the purpose of allowing shaneshop.net to fill customer orders the same way all other webstores fill orders regardless of who the web hosting service is provided by.

How Encryption Works: Imagine sending mail through the postal system in a clear envelope. Anyone with access to it can see the data. If it looks valuable, they might take it or change it. An SSL certificate establishes a private communication channel enabling encryption of the data during transmission. Encryption scrambles the data, essentially creating an envelope for message privacy. Each SSL Certificate consists of a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt information and the private key is used to decipher it. When a Web browser points to a secured domain, a Secure Sockets Layer handshake authenticates the server (Web site) and the client (Web browser). An encryption method is established with a unique session key and secure transmission can begin. True 128 bit certificates enable every site visitor to experience the strongest SSL encryption available to them.
