The Dorchester Saddlery online sales system is secure and your credit card information will be encrypted.
Our Site has been fully tested to ensure all transactions are secure.
The whole checkout area of our site is secure; this means that we utilise industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and other critically
sensitive information like your credit card details. SSL supports 128 bit encryption to protect your personal information from
being intercepted by an unauthorised party and is the standard used by all reputable e-commerce sites. Information passed
between your computer and our website cannot be read in the event it is intercepted by someone else.
To authenticate this security we use Thawte Consulting Ltd. who have issued us with a digital certificate enabling 128-bit encrytion.
All pages where information will be encrypted will display a Thawte Seal detailing our certificate and looks like the following:
We use SECPAY as our credit card authoriser and payment service provider. They use digital signatures and strong encryption
to ensure that all sensitive information is protected throughout a transaction. These processes are totally transparent to you.
Their computer systems are protected by managed firewalls and are located in physically secure locations with restricted access.
No credit card information is stored on Dorchester Saddlery web servers.
Due to a growing amount of internet fraud through stolen or invalid credit card numbers, Dorchester Saddlery has found
it necessary to implement stricter security measures in an effort to reduce the risk of credit card misuse. This will help
safeguard ourselves and you, our customer, against any criminal activity. Some users of our site may be asked for credit
card verification. You will be contacted via email should we require this information from you.
Please note that since we began trading we have not experienced one instance of credit card fraud resulting from information
given to us. |
