Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is a widely accepted set of policies and procedures intended to optimize the security of credit, debit and cash card transactions and protect cardholders against misuse of their personal information. In order for the electronic storage of cardholder data to be PCI compliant, appropriate encryption must be applied to the primary account number. For ease and speed of shopping at Peter Christian, we store encrypted card details in full compliance with PCI. We cannot see the card details because they are stored on an encrypted server that renders the data in an unreadable format.
