 Transaction Security Credit Card Transaction Security: Your name, address, phone number, email address and card numbers are needed to confirm approval by our payment gateway provider, Authorize.Net for all credit card transactions, see secure shopping. For your protection Secure Sockets Layer (SSL Encryption) technology is used to encrypt your credit card information you send over the internet during "Transaction" data transfer by our web server uSight and Authorize.Net. Only the last four digits of a credit card number are ever seen. How can you tell if an internet connection is actually using SSL Encryption? It is a good idea to make sure a site is using this technology even though they may inform you they are. The best and easiest way to check for yourself is by seeing if the web address on the page that asks for your credit card information begins with "https:" instead of "http:"; if so, this technology is in place. Our site becomes secure once you enter the checkout stage while placing an order. Authorize.Net Data Security; Retention: While Authorize.Net uses commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard "Transaction" data transmitted while using their gateway payment Service (SSL Encryption), they do not warrant that "Transaction" data will not be transported without unauthorized interception or modification. Even though SSL Encryption is virtually impossible to break, there still remains an extremely slim chance that someone could get lucky. Therefore, no one can truthfully say they are 100% sure nothing will ever happen. However, this is true with any type of transaction method. Our Security: Even though we only receive the last four numbers of a customers' credit card on our company computer when sales information is transferred back to us, we still have safeguards (firewall, spyware) in place to protect your personal data as well as our own. Per our agreement with Authorize.Net we fully comply with all Authorize.Net security protocols and security advisories. |
