We understand that many
consumers are concerned about Internet security. Bluestreak employs
industry-leading technologies to store sensitive information and protect
it while in transit over the internet. The following Security Statement
describes the technologies we use and provides additional details about
how we handle sensitive data like credit card information.
We want you to be able to
shop at Bluestreak with complete confidence. If for any reason you feel
uncomfortable shopping with us online, we invite you to call us and
order by phone at 1-519-586-9779, Monday through Friday 9 a.m. through 4
p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
The Transmission of
Sensitive Data
We work hard to protect
the information that you send to us while it is en route to and from our
site. To provide secure transmission, Bluestreak employs Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) on those pages that involve sensitive information such as
credit card numbers. SSL, which is supported by a vast majority of
Internet browsers available today, is the most commonly employed method
of secure, encrypted communication used on the Internet.
We have also obtained a
Geotrust digital security certificate for our Web site. Geotrust is an
independent third party that authenticates the identity of others on the
Internet. By registering with Geotrust we provide you a method of
independently authenticating that the entity you are dealing with over
the Internet is actually Bluestreak.
When you enter a secure
portion of our site (which is any page containing any of your personal
information), an image of a closed lock or a solid key should appear in
the bottom bar of your browser window. If you click on this image, a
small popup window displaying site-security information will appear.
This certificate guarantees that your personal information is being
transmitted in secure (encrypted) form to a Bluestreakequipment.com Web
server, not to some unknown or unauthorized server.
What Happens To My
Information After Bluestreak Receives It?
SSL protects information
en route to us. Geotrust certificate technology helps ensure that
Bluestreak is the actual recipient of this information. But we don't
stop there-- we also work very hard to make sure the information you
send us is managed securely once we receive it. This information is only
accessible to Bluestreak Equipment and trusted, contracted third party
service providers.
For your added security
Bluestreakequipment.com does not retain your credit card information.
Your credit card number is encrypted en route to us using SSL technology
and it is sent directly to the appropriate bank along with your name and
address during the ordering process. The bank will then respond to you
within a matter of seconds either confirming or denying your online
order. Bluestreak does not retain your credit card information submitted
online.
Also for your added
security and to prevent fraudulent transactions, our online ordering
system employs address verification technologies.
Credit Card Security
You can shop online with
confidence, knowing that the financial and personal information you
submit is secure. Just be sure to follow these three easy steps.
1. Make sure the sites you
buy from use secure commerce technology.
At Bluestreak, security is provided by the best Internet commerce
technology available. We use Geotrust as our SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
digital certificate provider, allowing our customers the strongest
certificate services around. Your credit card information is encrypted
while traveling the Internet.
You'll know your
transaction is secure when a "complete key" icon appears in the lower
left-hand corner of you Netscape Navigator screen, or a "closed lock"
icon appears in the lower right-hand corner of your Internet Explorer
screen.
Note - Email is not
secure. Please remember, your email correspondence should never
include sensitive information you would not like to share with the
general public because email is never a secure environment on the
Internet.
2. Buy from merchants you
know you can trust.
What makes a merchant
trustworthy? History. Guarantee. Easy Access.
3. Keep records.
When you purchase a product and check out, print the screen so you have
a paper record of your purchase. A paper record will be extremely
helpful if you ever need to contact us.
