Phillips Tire Co. is the sole owner of the information collected on
www.phillipstire.com. Phillips Tire Co. collects personally identifiable information from our users at several different points on our Web site which we address in this policy.
SECURITY
Because our customers credit card security is a main priority, we utilize Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology within our shopping cart system to ensure safety and security in the handling of customer information. When you enter sensitive information on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using a 128-bit SSL. In addition, we strive to follow the highest industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
Our e-commerce software takes advantage of current technology to provide secure online transactions:
Encrypted Credit Card Storage
Credit card numbers are encrypted when stored on the server. Only those authorized have access to the order database containing sensitive credit card information.
Encrypted in Transit
The system takes advantage of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security, protecting all parties involved while sensitive information is in transit over the internet.
