Many Internet users are concerned about
security on the web - below are answers to few
questions we are commonly asked:
Who are Realex? –
thegaastore.com has chosen Realex as a partner
for its secure server software. They are a
leading payment system provider to online
businesses. For further information about
Realex please visit their web site at www.realexpayments.com
Is shopping with thegaastore.com
safe? - Communication between you, us
and Realex is encrypted using the SSL
mechanism built into your browser. This ensures
that even if someone were able to monitor the
traffic between you and the Realex server,
they would not be able to read it. Encryption is
used on all pages within the paying process,
making shopping on thegaastore.com as safe as
possible
How do we protect the Buyers
Data? - The Realex software sits
behind a corporate firewall. Access to this
machine is strictly controlled, preventing
unauthorized access to your personal data. Once
you have passed your Credit Card details to
Realex, they are stored on the
Realex server in an encrypted format.
Do you check for fraudulent
cards? - When we receive your Credit
Card details, an on-line check of your Credit
Card is conducted with their Acquiring bankers.
This process ensures the number you entered
actually corresponds to a real credit card
number and is not a bogus card. The Realex
system also checks various "Hot Card lists" to
ensure that no fraudulent use is being made of
any Credit Card. This on-line verification of
your details is carried out over a secure line
to the bank. Credit Card data is, at no time,
sent over the Internet during the validation
process.
What is the Card Security
Code? This is a special 3 digit number
that appears on the far right side of the
signature strip on your card. This number is
unique to each card, and gives you extra
protection against fraud.
