Merch'OG online T-shirt store protects customer information using encryption, secure checkout systems, and data minimization. These core measures scramble data, prevent theft, and limit what information is kept.
Website Security and Encryption
- SSL/TLS Certificates: Encrypts data moving between the customer's browser and the store server.
- Secure Payment Gateways: Processes credit cards through trusted third parties (like Stripe or PayPal) so the T-shirt store never sees or stores full card numbers.
- HTTPS Protocol: Ensures the web address starts with "https," proving the connection is safe.
Data Policies and Storage
- Data Minimization: Collects only essential details needed to ship the T-shirt, such as name, address, and email.
- Privacy Policies: Explains clearly what data is gathered and how it is used.
- Limited Retention: Deletes sensitive customer details after orders are completed and delivery is confirmed.
