DY Home Decor
understands your concerns regarding Internet security. DY Home Décor’s
secure software encrypts all of your personal information including
credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the
information travels over the Internet. The Internet is as secure as
using your credit card in a store or over the phone. However, in the
event of any unauthorized use of your credit card, most banks either
cover all charges that result from the unauthorized use, or may limit
your liability to just $50.00.
This
is how our Secure Server Works:
1) Starting
Your Order:
Every order at
www.DYHomeDecor.com is secure. All data
submitted via the checkout form is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer) encryption.
2) Making a
Positive ID:
After you've selected items to purchase, you'll be
prompted to continue your order by clicking on the "Checkout", located
on your "Shopping Cart" page. At this point, your browser looks for a
"site certificate" to confirm that it is communicating with
www.DYHomeDecor.com. Once a positive ID is
made, your order continues.
3) Entering
"Secure Mode":
At this point, your computer and our server begin
communicating in secure mode, sending data back and forth in an
encrypted format through an online merchant account supported by
Authorize.net. We are ready to ask you for
your credit card information. The encryption features of browser
software are exceptionally powerful and ensure the security of this data
as it is transmitted to our server.
4) Your Order
Is Complete:
What Happens
Next? The credit card numbers are placed in the SQL database on the DY
Home Decor web server. A user must have logon privileges on the web
server (requiring a password) to be able to access the database, which
also requires a password.
Order
information, including the credit card numbers, is retrieved by the
staff at DY Home Decor through a web interface. This interface
challenges the user for a password. All communications during these
sessions are encrypted again using SSL. No credit card numbers are ever
sent via e-mail, due to the fact that e-mail is not secure.
5) A secure
website can be identified by https:// or a padlock symbol?
The standard,
unsecured URL address begins "http://". When you enter secure mode, the
beginning of the URL address will change to "https://"; the "s" stands
for secure. You'll also see a padlock symbol at the bottom of your
browser window when the browser is in secure mode.
With DY Home
Decor, from the moment the customer clicks on the Submit This Order
button, the credit card information is transmitted via encrypted gateway
page directly to the credit card processing bank where the transaction
is processed. When the order confirmation page appears on the monitor
screen, you'll see both the "https://" in the address bar at the top and
the padlock symbol at the bottom right hand side of the screen.
6) Personal Information is secure:
Your personal information that you provide us will never be sold, given
out, or shared with anyone. We respect our customer’s privacy and we
hope that you will continue to be happy with the measures that we have
put into place to make your shopping experience with us as safe and
secure as technology will allow.
