Security and Privacy

To address these concerns and demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy, we have developed and implemented this statement of Security & Privacy for our company. This security & privacy statement describes website security measures we have in place to protect your information as well as the information we collect on this website and how we use it. We recommend that you check it periodically as this policy may be updated.

Secure Web Hosting
The HornTrader commissions A-Z Hosting to provide industry leading security for our PCI compliant web site. A-Z Hosting provides all network infrastructure, secure e-commerce hosting and performs regular security auditing to insure that the servers in which our website(s) are locate on are hacker safe and not vulnerable to an attack of any kind. Some of the primary features provided by them follow.

PCI Compliance – The credit card industry’s standard for security
PCI compliance is a must for any organization that wants to accept credit card payments online. Our security is comprehensive enough to be certified as PCI compliant. Our site and servers are scanned and audited daily to insure this compliance.

SSL Encryption of Data
We employ appropriate site security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control. For our web site, we employ 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input, as an additional security measure. Encryption is the process of transforming data into a coded form that only we can read. That means your details are safe before they even leave your computer or web browser.

Data Center Security
All hardware and services are located in a secure world-class data center (an ISO 9001:2000-certified provider) that is monitored onsite 24x7x365. Multiple security checkpoints must be cleared to gain access to the data center. Biometric handscanners and key cards track and provide access to all areas of the data center providing us with N+3 (Necessary + 3) onsite security. Closed-circuit television cameras and key cards record all data center activity. Data center network infrastructure provides multiple security layers to safeguard against unauthorized access.

Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. Our overarching promise to our website visitors is that we will not sell your information-including your email, data on your website usage or personal financial information-to anyone, and we will only share it with those companies necessary to transact your order and secure payment.
