3. Security
3.1 We have taken steps to ensure the security and privacy of our systems and our user’s data and personal information. Our Website uses a market leading secure payment system, Payfirma, which offers all of the security measures you would expect as dealing with a major bank. Cardholder information is always encrypted from click to ship so you can shop with peace of mind. With their eCommerce API, every transaction processed through our store is PCI-compliant. That means that we never store your payment data or card information on our Website. At checkout you are transferred via a secure server to the Payfirma payment gateway server, a 128-bit SSL encrypted secure page where you complete your order by providing your credit card details. Your browser encrypts the information that you type and the Payfirma server decodes it. Systems which encrypt potentially sensitive information by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology provide the best possible protection on the internet. You can identify that you are on a secure site when the padlock appears at the bottom of the screen.3.2 All card details are encrypted using 128-bit encryption; they are not held in clear text on any Website. When you choose to pay online, your card details will not be available to HOLLE Canada staff. Your card details are input into the Payfirma payment gateway secure site and we do not have access to them at any time. Your card and address details are security checked and verified with the relevant card issuer and your payment is pre-authorised. You will receive a message in your internet browser window to tell you that payment has been authorized, and we will receive confirmation from the payment provider.
3.3 We are not liable for any unauthorized, erroneous or denied payments.
3.4 If you have any security concerns or questions please contact us at info@hollecanada.ca or call 1 (647) 834 5573.
