5. Transactional Security and your Credit Card details
entoSupplies.com.au strives to protect your personal information during its transmission. Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including your name, address and credit card details, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
Whilst we maintain high standards in protecting your security, it should be noted that no transmission over the Internet or storage of information on servers connected to the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. If secure transmission is indicated, Australian Entomological Supplies Pty Ltd currently uses a SSL certificate which encrypts communications between you and our servers.

Please note that at no time does Australian Entomological Supplies Pty Ltd record or store your credit card information on our website or servers. We utilise the ANZ Banks’ eGate Internet payment gateway for all online payments via credit card. This gateway employs the latest in encryption and security technology in order to keep your credit card information secure.
Our site securely receives your credit card details (over an SSL encrypted connection), and then passes those details directly to ANZ’s secure payment servers.
We simply receive and store the response we receive from the payment gateway as to whether the payment was successfull or not. At no time do we store your credit card information in any file or database on any of our systems.
If you are still unsure about using your credit card online, then we suggest you use one of the offline payment options.
