Payments and Security
Tocatchadream.co.uk take the security of your financial information very seriously and like thousands of other businesses outsource their transaction security to Protx, one of the UK's leading payment service providers. It is our top priority to ensure that transaction data is kept secure at all times.
Full details of the security procedures are shown below. However, If you have concerns regarding internet security and prefer not to order online then please either telephone our showroom on 01423 503060 or print out your order and post to us along with your cheque made payable to To Catch A Dream Ltd, 1-7 Montpellier Walk, The Ginnel, Harrogate, North Yorkshire HG1 2RB.
Transaction security
All transaction information is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages sent are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that your card details cannot be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Encryption and Data Storage
Once on our systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data is extremely secure and our payment service providers are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Links to banks
Protx has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
Employee access
No individuals within Protx are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Our systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your transaction information and customer card information is secure even form our own employees because our systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
