Our Security                                                                                                             Privacy Statement

We take security and your privacy very seriously. 

We use 256 bit RSA encryption ciphers using a 4026 bit key in our shopping cart and in our administrative cart control panels.  This is the most powerful 'super-cert' available and is capable of making older browsers with the older 28 and 40 bit encryption behave like they have stronger encryption installed.

Cipher technology is an extremely arcane subject, but we are experts at it with over 6 years of e-commerce design and support to our credit.

But encryption and cipher technology are not enough to do the job properly.   At times, good encryption and cipher technology simply means that a criminal is receiving the same cipher protection from observation and compromise that our merchants and shoppers receive.  There has to be more than just good cipher technology.

AudiTrak

Our AudiTrak technology helps ensure that merchants are protected from fraudulent transactions.  We've never had a shopper or a merchant report a fraudulent transaction to us - and we credit our AudiTrak technology for that.  AudiTrak closely watches each e-commerce transaction we handle looking for patterns of fraudulent activity.  It politely declines attempted purchases that appear to be fraudulent.

Partnering

We also partner with the security departments of the major credit card companies and gateways, sharing information on practices observed among fraud attempts and helping all our e-commerce partners keep security tight, while optimizing the shopping experience for honest, authorized shoppers.

Merchant Control

Because merchants have their own workflow practices and their own day-to-day business needs, we place some security settings directly under merchant control.  Merchants, when they visit their cart control panel to pick up orders, are using the same 256-bit super-cipher that their shoppers use to keep their order information private and safe from compromise or observation.
