WEBSITE SECURITY
We take security on our website very seriously as we want to ensure that your data is only used how you want it to be.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure your information and to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful use, including:
-only sharing and providing access to your information to the minimum extent necessary, subject to confidentiality restrictions where appropriate, and on an anonymised basis wherever possible;
- using secure servers to store your information;
- verifying the identity of any individual who requests access to information prior to granting them access to information; and
- using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software or other similar encryption technologies to encrypt any payment transactions you make on or via our website.
If you receive any warnings or notice any issues with our website please get in touch immediately by emailing us at hello@imouto.uk. We can then check for any issues at our end and rectify it as quickly as possible, however this circumstance is unlikely.
DATA RELATING TO PAYMENT METHODS
We only officially store your details if you create a Customer Account and you select ‘Save Payment Method’. This is only applicable for Apple Pay and card payments.
Through ‘Guest Checkout’ your payment details are only kept alongside your order so that we have the relevant information for processing any returns. The only data visible to Imouto Ltd. relating to your payment method is your billing address and the last 4 digits of your card number, if this option is used (this is so we can cross reference when processing returns).
For card payments, we use Stripe. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1 - this is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. All card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons are able to obtain plaintext card numbers; instead, they can just request that cards be sent to a service provider on a static whitelist. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in separate hosting infrastructure, and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services (API, website, etc.).
Saved payment methods on your Customer account
You can create an account and save payment methods during checkout or by using a ‘Sign In’ link through the navigation menu.
Stripe
This store is connected to Stripe where you can securely save credit card payment information to your account. With a saved card, only the last few digits of the card will be visible to Imouto Ltd. This allows us to make sure that any refunds are processed to the right card relating to your order.
Your saved credit card information is stored within Stripe when you use a credit or debit card at checkout. Please refer to their Privacy Policy for more details on how they deal with your data.
Apple Pay
Since Apple Pay is built for a quick checkout experience, so you can’t sign into your Imouto Ltd. account during an Apple Pay checkout. If you’re already signed in, you can complete checkout normally. Should you have any further queries, please refer to Apple Pay’s Privacy Policy on their website.
PayPal
It isn’t possible to save PayPal accounts to an Imouto Ltd. Customer Account. Should you have any further queries about this payment method, please refer to Paypal’s Privacy Policy on their website.
CHANGES
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
CONTACT US
For more information about our privacy practices, if you have questions, or if you would like to make a complaint, please contact us by e-mail at hello@imouto.uk. We will endeavour to respond to you as quickly as possible and take privacy concerns very seriously.
