Online Payment Security

We have teamed up with Stripe Payments to process credit card
transactions for our website. Stripe Payments employ a system called
Secure Socket Layer encryption technology to encrypt your credit card
information while travelling the Internet. Clarkes of Cavan would like
to make it clear we do not process or store your credit card deals in
any way on our website. This is exclusively handled by Stripe Payments.

Stripe Payments are certified and approved by several leading
financial institutions and their systems and security controls are based
on current industry standards. There are several layers of technology
in place to ensure the confidentiality, authentication and integrity of
information.

• Stripe Payments have been accredited with the AIS (Account
  Information Security) certification by VISA and are one of the few
  companies in Europe to achieve this. This shows our commitment to the
  above industry standard in every aspect of payment processing.
• Information is sent to us from businesses via the internet and we
  connect to financial institutions with whom we are fully certified and
  approved.
• All messages sent to us and the responses from us are authenticated using digitally signed digests.
• All requests are verified against a legal list of IP addresses and referring URLs.
• Our technical infrastructure is located in secure co-location
  facilities that have 24×7 manned security and advanced building
  management systems along with environmental controls.
• Critical servers and applications are monitored constantly to
  threshold levels and Stripe Payments staff is instantly alerted via our
  real-time monitoring and alerting service.
• All connections to the financial institutions are over private
  dedicated leased circuits, backed up with ISDN lines and in certain
  cases VPN connections over the internet.
• The network is designed to be highly resilient with duplicate and
  triplicate systems in place depending on the critical nature of each
  component.
• Stripe Payments are registered with the data protection
  commissioner as a “Data Processor”. Cardholder information is encrypted
  and not displayed in our reporting systems

We hope the above examples show how seriously we take your online shopping experience.
