Online Security at Sandskater
Sandskater provides this security statement to give you peace of mind while you shop on our site.
Why shopping at Sandskater is so safe
Web browsers can operate in "normal" mode and in
"secure" mode. You can tell which mode your browser is in by
looking at the toolbar at the bottom of the browser window. If you see a
broken key, or an open padlock - or indeed nothing at all, you are in
normal mode. If the key is whole, or the padlock is
closed,
you are in "secure" mode, this is known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
When you surf the Net in "normal" mode, all the information
you type into your browser and all the information the Web site sends to
you is visible to eavesdroppers. When the browser is in
"secure" mode it encrypts all the information between itself
and the server providing the page you are viewing. Encrypted information
looks like meaningless garbage to eavesdroppers, so your personal
information is secure.
The website software that Sandskater uses holds a digital
certificate from Verisign that is compatible with Netscape and Microsoft
browsers.
When you enter your details on the order form, your browser will
automatically inform you that encryption is being used. Furthermore, all
data stored on our secure order server is protected by a firewall. All
credit card details are kept encrypted at all times and are deleted off
the system once your order has been processed.
Additionally, all
credit and debit card transactions are processed through Barclaycard Business, which is owned by Barclays Bank in the UK. So you can be assured that your card details are processed by one of Europe's largest acquirers and processors of card transactions.
