Secure payment service

Online transaction security

The School Photographer P/L has created a secure transaction environment for commerce on the Internet. Our e-commerce system uses 128bit Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL) to ensure your shopping experience is secure at all times.

SSL locks all information passed from you to Stripe in an encrypted folder. This makes it almost impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorised party, as long as your browser and local network support the use of encrypted data transmissions. SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-commerce sites. For enhanced security, we recommend using the latest Internet browsers, which enable SSL. Make sure to set your browser’s preferences to accept cookies and enable JavaScript.

How to identify a secure page

The appearance of a security notice will indicate when you enter a secure page. A secure icon will appear on your browser:

  • for users of Netscape, this is a key icon
  • for users of Microsoft Internet Explorer, a lock icon

Secure web pages can also be identified by their URL: they begin with ‘https://’, while standard pages begin with ‘http://’.

In the event of unauthorised use

In the event of unauthorised online use of your credit card, you must immediately notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.

Limitations of online security

The School Photographer P/L and Stripe regularly update their security and encryption systems, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be granted as absolutely secured. We endeavour at all times to protect such information, however The School Photographer and Stripe cannot guarantee or ensure the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services and you do so at your own risk.

Once The School Photographer P/L and Stripe receive your transmission, we take reasonable measures to ensure the safety and security of such information.

Transmission of student information

Where applicable, names and/or classes may appear on forms. This information is transmitted using the same SSL encryption as your credit card details, and is used strictly within the guidelines of The School Photographer’s privacy policy.
