9.0. Data Protection and Security measures

We have taken every possible precaution to create a secure environment to protect the personal information supplied from you when making an order. Access to your personal information is limited to people who need it to do their job.

9.1. This site uses a secure transaction environment for e-commerce. Our system uses 128 bit Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL) to ensure your shopping experience is safe, sound and secure at all times. This is the standard and best possible technology in use at this time.

9.2. SSL locks all information passed from you to 2xO Group Pty Ltd in an encrypted envelope. This makes it virtually impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorised party.

9.3. You will usually know when transmitted data is secure by the appearance of a security notice when you enter a secure page. Also, a secure icon will appear on your browser. For Netscape, this is a key icon; for Microsoft Internet Explorer, a lock icon. Secure web pages can also be identified by their URL: they begin with 'https://', while standard pages begin with 'http://'. You will notice this secure environment when you advance to the "checkout".

9.4. The SSL certificate used by 2xO Group Pty Ltd may not be recognised by some older web browsers. If you receive a security alert from your browser, this simply means that it has not recognised the root certificate; however any data transmissions will still continue to be safely encrypted. It is recommended to use Internet Explorer 5.01 or newer, Mozilla or Netscape 7.

9.5. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect customer-information off-line. All of our customer's’ information is restricted in our offices.  Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

9.6. 2xO Group Pty Ltd does not retain your credit card information after the transaction is processed.
