Is GeniCity.com Safe? Is my payment information secure?
GeniCity.com uses the following methods to ensure security and safety:
GeoTrust SSL
The primary reason why SSL is used is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted so that only the intended recipient can understand it. This is important because the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server. Any computer in between you and the server can see your credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, and other sensitive information if it is not encrypted with an SSL certificate. When an SSL certificate is used, the information becomes unreadable to everyone except for the server you are sending the information to. This protects it from hackers and identity thieves.
In addition to encryption, a proper SSL certificate also provides authentication. The nature of the Internet means that our customers will often be sending information through several computers. Any of these computers could pretend to be our website and trick our users into sending them personal information. It is only possible to avoid this by using a proper Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and getting an SSL Certificate from a trusted SSL provider.
With GeoTrust SSL certificate, our website has the following.
-
Security: domain control validation, up to 256-bit encryption, 2048-bit root
-
Assurance: $100K USD warranty
McAfee Secure
GeniCity.com displays the McAfee SECURE symbol. It means our website is tested and certified daily to pass McAfee's security tests, which help protect buyers and registered users from identity theft, viruses, spyware, and other online threats. The daily, non-invasive vulnerability scan quickly identifies vulnerabilities that could let hackers in and put our website at risk. The discovery and scan processes mimic the ways in which hackers search for vulnerabilities they can exploit, and inform us if there are weaknesses so that we can take actions in time to ensure safety and security of our website.
