Security Policy
Your payment and personal information is always safe. Our software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the internet. Upon entry in the consumer’s browser, cardholder data is securely transmitted via HTTPS/TLS v1.2. This transmission takes place directly between the consumer and Heartland. The data is then processed and assigned a token. This tokenized data is then sent to the merchant’s server(s) for storage and future reference. The secure token is the only data that is transmitted between the merchant’s servers and Heartland. As such, no cardholder data ever traverses or is stored on the merchant’s servers.
SecureSubmit provides a unique solution to address the protection of consumer cardholder data entered via browser-based e-commerce applications. SecureSubmit immediately tokenizes the consumer’s sensitive cardholder data and this unique token is then used for all transactional processing. This ensures that the consumer’s information is always secure.
