SSL Secure Checkout/ Security

Perlae Couture’s online store provides a reliable, secure shopping cart that is Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant.  Furthermore, we use a 128 bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to keep order details that are transmitted over the internet (such as credit card information and order data) encrypted and secure.  In order to verify the security of our site, you can look at the URL line of your browser, where “www.perlaecouture.com” will change to “https.perlaecouture.com” (??), with the letter ‘s’ signifying that you are in a secure area employing SSL. The following web browsers allow communication via SSL technology: Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or higher), Firefox (version 3.0 or higher), Safari (version 4 or higher), Chrome (version 2 or higher), and AOL (version 9 or higher).  If, however, you choose to use a web browser or firewall that does not permit secure site communication, you will not be able to complete your purchase on our site.

While providing service to our customers requires gathering some of their personal information, protecting that information is a significant priority.  We, Perlae Couture, demonstrate our commitment to protecting the security of our customers by limiting the number of personnel who have access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access.

It is also important for Perlae Couture customers to note that at no time will we ask for your credit card number via email, nor will we send it through such a medium.  We have a very private, secure network, and through this network is the only way in which we will request your credit card information.

Although Perlae Couture is committed to implementing the for mentioned security measures, customers should be aware that due to the nature of the internet that we cannot guarantee that 100% security is possible.  In the unlikely event that your personal information is subject to security compromise, we will notify you via email of this intrusion.  You consent to our use of email for such notification.  If you have any further questions regarding the privacy policy of Perlae Couture, please contact privacy@perlaecouture.com
