General
When it comes to security, our first priority is to ensure that the information contained on our website or any of our IT systems is only available to authorized people within an authorized context.
|
|
|
Although we cannot divulge all of our methods, EarthLogo proactively takes every reasonable precaution to safeguard our data and the IT systems on which it resides.
|
|
|
Unfortunately, in the reality of today’s world, there is no way to be 100% assured that a system will not be compromised. With that in mind, we take further precautions to ensure that data is not needlessly exposed. A few of our precautions: We don’t keep data on servers that are exposed to the Internet unless that data is needed by our webservers; Transaction data is removed from Internet exposed servers in a timely fashion; And we never store Credit Card numbers or related information.

Encryption
All sensitive activity between our webservers and your computer is encrypted. Our servers utilize the industry leading VeriSign encryption system.
- 128-bit RSA, Public/Private Key Encryption
- Secure Socket Layer
- VeriSign Site Validation
Look for the VeriSign logo on our pages. When you see the VeriSign logo, you know the page should be using encryption. Your browser should indicate that it is in Secure Mode for these pages. MicroSoft’s Internet Explorer, for instance, displays a small padlock icon at the bottom of the browser.

Credit Card Transactions
All Credit Card transactions are conducted with 128-bit RSA encryption as described above. When you enter your Credit Card information on your browser, your browser sends the information to our server in an encrypted format. We then route that information, again using 128-bit encryption, to the VeriSign PayFlow service to obtain authorization for the purchase.
|
|
|
By utilizing a real-time authorization service, there is no need for us to ever even record your credit card number. Therefore credit card numbers are NEVER stored on the EarthLogo website or on any EarthLogo equipment. We store only the authorization/denial code received from our authorization service.

|
Account Information
The EarthLogo system utilizes a system of Security Roles to allow each account holder the ability to tailor account access as they see fit. The Account Administrator can add any number of additional people (called “contacts”) to their account. Each contact can have different Security Roles assigned.
|
|
|
Furthermore, all web pages used for accessing or editing account information are encrypted. Strict adherence to our Privacy Policy also ensures that all of your account information is held in the highest confidence.
