Security

Although 123plaza.com is not directly liable or responsible for actions of vendors hosted at our system, we take special care to select only businesses that conform to high standards of honesty and good business practices. Additionally, our system imposes tight security meassures and safeguards, on all business transactions performed by hosted vendors. Vendors who fail to meet these standards, are not accepted, or are immediately removed form our system.

Safety comes in many variations when it comes to e-commerce, and at 123plaza.com we provide one of the most complete array of security meassures and tools available in the Internet.

The first and most important layer of security, often overlooked by many Internet businesses, begins at the server where the ecommerce system software and files are hosted. 123plaza.com, contrary to common practice, exclusively provides ecommerce solutions, our system and files are hosted on fully dedicated servers, not shared with web sites that are not owned or directly controlled by us, and enforce tight security measures to access secure resources.

The second important layer of security, is the ecommerce software itslef. Many shopping cart systems available in the market inadvertently provide back-doors and loopholes, that can be easily exploited by unscrupulous individuals to gain access to sensitive information. This is also plainly ignored by many Interent businesses, but rest reassured that 123Plaza.com's system utilizes the latest technologies, to prevent such security breaches.

As a third layer of security, all transactions where your important personal information is transmitted to our servers, is performed through our 128-bit Encrypted SSL Secure Server. You will notice we do not offer a Non-Secure Environment for payment processing options, strictly because your security is at its poorest possible level in a non-secure envirnoment. Our SSL Secure Server Certificate is provided by GeoTrust ®

The fourth layer of security, deals with the methods used to notify the vendor(s) of your purchase order. Because of the fact that the company you just ordered from still needs to receive your order and its associated information for fullfillment (i.e., credit card number, telephone number, shipping address, billing address, etc.) the most common means for order notification is VIA email. Unencrypted email affords absolutely no privacy or protection of vital personal Information, and best yet, your credit card number is on that very email transmission. At 123Plaza.com, email notifications to vendors are sent encrypted via PGP or SSL email, guaranteeing that only the intended receiver will be able to read the information.

Finally, as an optional fifth layer of security for vendors that will like to perform Internet credit card transactions in real time, we offer Internet Credit Card processing services provided by CyberCash, PlanetPayment, and Authorizenet; world leaders in Internet credit card processing. The best methods for paying securely over the Internet with credit cards, much like shopping in the real world, these companies enable shoppers to make purchases online with credit cards.
