SECURITY & PRIVACY

Internet Security

Security of your personal data is of highest importance to us. 

In order to accept payments online, elementary uses the Stripe Payments Ltd. payment provider, which has been certified with a PCI Service Provider Level 1 -the most stringent level of certification available. 

Stripe forces HTTPS for all services and regularly audits the details of their implementation: the certificates served, the certificate authorities used, and the ciphers supported. HSTS is used to ensure browsers interact with our payment provider only over HTTPS. Implementing HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) -which is the secure version of the HTTP certificate- means that all information transmitted is encrypted and even if intercepted while in transit, cannot be read by anyone.

When Stripe has received your credit card information it will send it directly in encrypted form to their secure server and it will never be stored or saved at the elementary website.

Personal information

elementary only collects personal information from our online visitors on a voluntary basis, and only when registering or placing an order. Visitors purchasing products and services online will need to provide a valid credit or debit card number and expiration date, in addition to their name, mailing address, telephone number (your telephone number may be given to our courier), and email address. These details allow us to process your order and to inform you regarding the status of your order. 

When you register with elementary, you will be asked to provide personally identifiable information. This information allows us to notify you regarding new products, services, special offers/promotions, news and events. We will not share your information with parties outside our organisation (except to the extent required by law, court order, or as requested by other government or law enforcement authority.)

If at any point you wish to have your name removed from our database, you can do so.
