How we protect your information :
The Security of your personal information is important to us.
When you enter sensitive information such as a credit card number
on our order form, the secure server at our webhost LunarPages
(lunarpages.com) encrypt that information using secure socket
layer technology (SSLv3 & TLSv1) on Linux based operating
systems. The secure link will appear on the address bar as https://www.biyoart.com/...
when the Add to Cart, or Check Out process is invoked.
To protect cardholder data, Visa an Mastercard developed a PCI
(Payment Card Industry) standard and the PCI Security Council
released version 1.2 in October 2008. This site is tested quarterly
by ComplyGuard Networks security
auditing technology, ComplyShield, to ensure that said security
standards are maintained; as indicated by their " Click to
View " certificate site seal on this page. Please Note :
when the ComplyGuard seal is not present in the upper left hand
corner of this page it means the site is either in the process
of being tested or has been recently scanned and is in remediation
regarding the latest PCI compliance update. The site has 90 days
to comply with the latest security updates.
Also, as a visual reminder for customer security assurance we
have added the red TrustLogo (trustlogo.com)
and its associated BiyoArt (BiyoLTD) website specific SSL certificate
from Comodo (comodo.com) to our site; as seen in the lower right
hand corner of applicable website pages. This service provides
Point to View authentication and validation of our actual website
and its internet encrypted security. The TrustLogo can be seen
in the lower right hand corner of those website pages deemed appropriate
to customer visual security assurance.
We also follow generally accepted industry standards to protect
the personal information submitted to us from unauthorized access
or disclosure, both during transmission and once we receive it.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method
of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive
to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Other
than our limited security guarantee, we assume no liability for
any disclosure of data due to errors in transmission, unauthorized
third party access or other acts of third parties, or acts or
omissions beyond our reasonable control.
Disposal of said collected personal information shall be conducted
under the guidelines established by the Federal Trade Commision's
(FTC) Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act's (FACTA) Disposal
Rules. Which basically includes the burning, pulverizing or shredding
of physical documents and the erasure or destruction of all electronic
media.
