Safe and Secure

Every day now we hear about some new internet fraud and shoppers are naturally wary about who they give their credit card details to. We would like to reassure you that shopping on our site is safe and secure and give you some more infomation on how the payment process works on our site:

Arusha Fair Trade works with Paypal to process online transactions in the most safe & secure way possible. Paypal is a leading payment security service provider and they take security very seriously. When you enter credit card information at our checkout, the information is being collected by PayPal and stored in their secure servers. We do not retain or see any of your credit card information.

This is how the payment process works:




Encryption and Data Storage

Paypal automatically encrypt all sensitive information sent between your computer and their servers.

Your computer:
Once Arusha transfers you to the Paypal site they verify that your internet browser is running Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher.
In transit:
Information is protected by SSL with an encryption key length of 168 bits (the highest level commercially available).
PayPal servers:
Your personal information is stored on their servers and heavily guarded, both physically and electronically. To further shield your credit card and bank numbers, Paypal do not directly connect their firewall-protected servers to the internet.


Employee access

No individuals within Arusha have access to your cardholder data. Paypal have strict rules regarding privacy which you can read about in the Paypal Privacy Policy
