Here at Aqualine Saunas, it is our top priority to ensure that your transaction data is kept secure at all times.

Transaction security

All transaction information passed between our website and Authorize.net systems is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to our servers from Authroize.net are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely assured that nothing we pass to Authorize.net servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.

Encryption and Data Storage

Once on Authorize.net systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data that Authorize.net holds is extremely secure and Authorize.net is regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
