Security Capabilities and Policy for Transmission of Payment Card Details

At Rugged Art Gear, we prioritize the security of your payment information. We adhere to strict security protocols to ensure the safe transmission and processing of payment card details:

  1.  Secure Payment Processing: We use Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor, to handle all payment transactions. This means we never directly store, process, or transmit your full credit card information on our servers.
  2.  Encryption: All payment data is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption during transmission from your browser to our payment processor.
  3.  PCI DSS Compliance: Our payment processing system complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), ensuring that your payment card information is handled according to rigorous industry standards.
  4.  Tokenization: Instead of storing actual credit card numbers, we use tokenization technology provided by our payment processor. This replaces sensitive payment data with unique identification symbols, maintaining security while allowing recurring transactions.
  5.  Limited Data Access: We strictly limit access to any payment-related data to only those employees who require it to perform their job functions.
  6.  Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential security risks.
  7.  Secure Networks: We maintain secure, firewalled networks to protect against unauthorized access to our systems.
