Security at RainShowerheads.com
RainShowerheads.com
is extremely concerned about the security of our payment processing
system. After careful evaluation, we choose to use PayPal as our
credit card processor for the best security possible. (Most major
credit cards are accepted, not just PayPal payments). We value
our customers' security as we do our own, and we concluded that
the scale and sophistication of the security offered by the PayPal
system exceeded that of the available smaller-scale solutions.
PayPal's state-of-the-art security system provides a level of
security against today's sophisticated threats that we, as a small
business, could not provide on our own. During checkout, customers
link directly to the PayPal credit-card processing system via
a secure SSL connection, and customers' credit card information
is never entered into our system. With
many online stores, your credit card info resides in two places
- on the store's own system, and also on the system of their credit-card
processor. Typically the credit-card processor will provide excellent
security, but the weak link can be the security of the store,
particularly if they are a business without their own secure datacenter
or on-site IT staff 24/7, like most small businesses. Worse yet,
the payment info often resides on a simple PC server with no formal
procedures for protecting the data from theft, duplication, improper
access or technical vulnerabilities. RainShowerheads.com
is proud to offer our customers the security of PCI compliance
through PayPal's credit-card processing system. PCI
compliance PayPal
adheres to international PCI (payment card industry) compliance
standards for data security. What
is PCI compliance?
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) are network
security and business practice guidelines adopted by Visa, MasterCard,
American Express, Discover Card, and JCB to establish a “minimum
security standard” to protect customer’s payment card information.
