1. Payment Card Industry Compliance and Security
Our website operates within the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards, offering secure credit and debit card transactions. Currently, we do not offer card payments, but we plan to include this feature in the future.
To protect your privacy, we utilize data encryption on our secure server. When you submit an order, your personal information is encrypted to prevent unauthorized interception and use. All transactions are secured with 2048-bit SSL encryption, meaning that when you enter your credit card details, they are safely transmitted to our credit card processor for authorization, without human intervention.
Note: We do not save your credit card number. It is only passed through secure SSL encryption to our payment processor and is not stored by our system. This is a PCI-compliant practice for maximum security.
