Our Commitment to Data Security
MOL wants to ensure the security of your personal and financial information while you are shopping on our web site.

These rules include encryption, which guards against eavesdropping, data integrity, which ensures that your communications aren't tampered with during transmission; and authentication, which verifies that the party actually receiving your communication is who it claims to be. For added protection, we urge you to close your browser window (or clear your cache) after shopping online to ensure you are logged out of your visit and / or online account. This is especially important when you are sharing a computer or using a computer with public access.
