At Madfun Ltd, we take security very
seriously and we understand that security concerns are one of the major
factors as to why people choose either ‘to buy or not to buy’ their products
from an internet site. We have in place both online and offline security
procedures in order to protect our customers.
Online Security
Your browser will go take you to a Protx page as soon as you access the
'checkout' or 'login' pages, i.e. before you enter any payment details.
Protx is a dedicated payment processing company which handles all of
MadFun’s payment processing.
Protx has achieved the highest level of compliance under the Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI). They adhere to the most stringent
levels of fraud screening, ensuring that your details remain secure
throughout the transaction process.
You will see that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for
either a locked padlock or a key icon in the grey bar at the bottom of your
screen. Being in 'secure mode' means that all of your details are encrypted
to help keep them secure. Encryption creates billions of code combinations
to protect each transaction made on our site, so your card details cannot be
viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you are using one of the more
recent browser versions, our site supports 128 bit encryption and therefore
keeps your details as safe as possible at all times.
We only accept orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This
technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal information
using an insecure connection. During payment, we also ask for your card
billing address as an additional security check. New security checks like
the card signature code have recently been introduced to protect your credit
card details online.
No credit or debit card details are stored once your order has been
processed.
We recommend that you always close down your Internet browser when you have
finished shopping online, especially if you use a shared PC. This will
delete temporary Internet cookies from any sites that you may have visited.
Offline Security
A common fear amongst people who are considering shopping online is how
their information is protected once they submitted their details. Firstly we
only store your credit card details while we process your order and as soon
as we have taken payment your card number is removed from our system.
Obviously we need to retain other details such as your name and address in
order to fulfil your order and to be able to respond to customer service
enquiries.
To ensure the safety of your data our systems are protected by a state-of
the-art firewall system. Finally, access to confidential information is
carefully monitored so that MadFun’s own staff only have access to the
information they need in a secure, password protected, system.
Any card or payment details taken over the telephone are shredded once the
payment has been taken and authorized.
