Data Security Encryption
At
Bikini Sunshine your privacy is as important to us as it
is to you.
We take
the security of your personal
information very seriously and that is why we
selected PayPal as our credit card and
transactions processor.
When you pay for your purchases
you never have to share your credit card
information with us - the seller. (This gives
you peace of mind knowing that your credit card
information and personal information is not
being transmitted to your seller's email address
over an un-secure channel and then who knows
where after that). PayPal is an industry-leading
provider of fraud prevention technology. PayPal
protects you from identity theft and covers
buyers 100% against unauthorized payments. To
date PayPal has over 100 million accounts.
The security of your information,
transactions, and money is the core of PayPal's
business and therefore PayPal's top priority.
PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential
information in transit from your computer to
theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol
(SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits
(the highest level commercially available).
Before you even register or log in to their
site, their server checks that you're using an
approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or
higher.
Once your information reaches them, it resides
on a server that is heavily guarded both
physically and electronically. Their servers sit
behind an electronic firewall and are not
directly connected to the internet, so your
private information is available only to
authorized computers.
PayPal takes the
privacy of your personal information very
seriously. They will not sell or rent your
personally identifiable information or a list of
their customers to third parties.
When
paying by credit card
you will need to provide your name, address,
phone number, and e-mail address. You will need
to also provide credit card, or debit card
information, which is all very standard.
However, for added extra security measures you
will also be asked to choose two different
security questions to answer (such as your city
of birth or your pet's name) This required
information is necessary in order to process
transactions. You will be issued a new password
should you forget or lose your password. This
protects you against credit card fraud and
checking account fraud.
In order to protect all customers against
potential fraud, PayPal will verify the
information you provide. In the course of such
verification, PayPal will use card authorization
and fraud screening services to verify that the
credit card or debit card information and
address matches the information that you
supplied, and that the card has not been
reported as lost or stolen.
An address
is confirmed if the buyer’s credit card billing
address matches his or her shipping address.
(i.e., the address where you receive your credit
card statement). Although the vast majority of
unconfirmed addresses are not fraudulent, PayPal
offers confirmed addresses as an additional
layer of fraud protection. Confirmed addresses
help guard against stolen credit cards and
identity theft and decrease your chances of
receiving a chargeback.
PayPal is committed to handling your customer
information with high standards of information
security. Your credit card information is stored
only in encrypted form on computers that are not
connected to the Internet. PayPal maintain
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards
that comply with federal regulations to guard
your nonpublic personal information. PayPal
tests their security systems regularly and also
contract with outside companies to audit their
security systems and processes.
PayPal Buyer
Protection is offered as a way to make PayPal's
online trading community even safer and more
secure. With PayPal Buyer Protection, qualified
purchases are eligible for up to $1000.00 USD
coverage at no additional cost.
Transactions Covered by PayPal Buyer Protection
If you paid for
an item and never received it or received an
item that was significantly not as described,
your transaction must meet each of the following
requirements to be eligible for PayPal Buyer
Protection:
-
The PayPal Buyer Protection icon must be
displayed in the Seller Information box on
eBay
-
Your purchase must be a physical item --
services and intangible items are not
covered
You must use PayPal to pay for the item and must
use the seller's email address associated with
the listing. To make sure of this, use the grey
Pay Now button you'll see when the listing
closes on eBay.

What does it mean to be Verified?
Verification increases the security of
the PayPal network. Verified members
have successfully completed PayPal's
verification system to establish their
identity with PayPal. The verification
process varies by country. For example,
in the U.S., a Verified member has
confirmed a bank account with PayPal.
Because financial institutions screen
their account holders, PayPal's
verification process increases security
when you pay parties you do not know.
We
hope this gives you peace of mind when
purchasing from
Bikini Sunshine. As
you can see we are very adamant about
protecting your privacy and personal
information.
Thank you.
