The Hardware Hut - Secure Shopping Website

Secure Shopping Website Ensuring a safe shopping environment and maintaining your privacy while shopping with us online is of paramount importance to us. We employ multiple security methods on our website to do this.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Our shopping cart employs SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to ensure the security of all of your transaction data. SSL is an industry standard technology that securely encrypts the personal information and payment data exchanged between your computer and our servers. You will notice that when you are in our shopping cart, the web address begins with "https:" instead of "http:" as well as a lock icon either beside the address bar or in the status bar at the bottom of your browser's screen, all of which indicates that SSL is in use and your data is secure.

Additional Credit Card Information Protection In conjunction with the implementation of SSL on our web servers, we go a couple steps further to ensure the safety of you credit card information. First we employ secondary encryption of all credit card numbers that are sent to our web servers then we remove the credit card numbers from our web servers as soon as the transaction is processed. By doing this, your transaction data resides on our web servers for only the short amount of time it takes our customer service staff to process your order and while it is there it benefits from our secondary encryption.

Frequent Vulnerability Scans We frequently scan our servers internally and from outside locations to identify common vulnerabilities that could disclose your data to unwanted individuals such as hackers. Utilizing industry accepted techniques, we identify any potential threats and secure our severs and ports against malicious access attempts.
