Credit Card Security

It can be a worry inputting sensitive information such as credit card details on the web. In reality all you need to ensure is that the site is secure. This will be evidenced checking whether the URL (in address bar) starts with https on pages where you re asked for secure personal/information. This tells you whether the information is being stored on a secure server. Also if the site is verified by an independant third party body such as Thawte. You will see all this on the secure website of DemonXTREME.com

Buying from a completely secure site such as Demon Xtreme that has its own Thawte certification is actually safer than paying in many shops - have you ever given your credit card in a restaurent and it was taken away out of your site? How about in a Petrol Station - did the attendent manual swipe the card, was it in your view at all times - how much trust would you put in these part time workers. This is actually very unsafe compared to the security Demon xtreme offers but people have a sometimes false sense of security because they are face to face.

Q How secure is secure?

A. Demon Xtreme has its own certification, this means that we as a company had to provide all sorts of documentary evidence of ownership, contact details and much more before Thawte would offer a certificate. Once all our information was verified by Thawte we are then able to provide this certificate to our Internet service provider who allows us to have the sensitive information on their secure separate server (https - the "s" stands for secure). This secure server is protected by 128bit encryption - the highest level of computer encryption known to man - used by the pentagon, NASA AND Demon XTREME Sports, currently with the fastest computers humans have, it would take many years for them to crack it.

The human element - Once your order is on the server, we have only two people who are authorised to access this who are the owners of Demon Xtreme and this is done also by password encryption. We do this to further combat credit card fraud for us and the police. We also have secure logs of every access to this information of retrieval. This information is never cached (stored on the memory of the compuer against your details). Once the order is dispatched the Credit card details are deleted on all computers without trace.

Many other sites have obtained a secure certification but it is shared to save cost (the name is different by the padlock)and therefore your security can be compromised. Also many many also stupidly Cache this information to save you time but consequently it is much more easily hacked. We understand it is an inconvenience to re enter Credit card information when you order but it is a small price to pay for your extra card security.

I hope we haven't bored you with all this information and can feel confident in shopping with Demon Xtreme Sports, we have a business address (not residential) - Shop where you are welcome to visit, landline telephone (not mobile or 0870 premium rate) - so you can feel sure you are safe with us.
