YourShop® Security

We are fully aware that security exploits are a common fact. You may have concerns that outsourcing your clients' data might pose a security threat to your company.
YourShop strives to provide and maintain a very high security level with several security-enabled tools plus careful handling of your data. We go one step further and do not even retain credit card numbers.

SSL secured

The YourShop Checkout and Your Account used by your webclients, and the YourShop BackOffice you the shop owner utilize, are all SSL secured. This encryption makes it very difficult for unauthorized persons to view information traveling between computers.
YourShop also provides SSL encryption for your pop3 accounts and the FTP access. We strongly encourage our customers to use SSL capable clients to access these services. Mr. Paul Ford-Hutchinson maintains a fairly complete list of all available SSL capable FTP clients.

Access Control

Access ControlYourShop's access control system lets the shop owner restrict employees' access, as well as his or her own, to the shop's BackOffice and resources.

For high-security setups, access to the BackOffice can be limited to one or more fixed IP addresses.

Credit Cards

YourShop does not store your web-clients' credit cards. We work with several payment service providers, to which web-clients are sent for payment during checkout.
Payment by a payment service provider is a smooth and safe process. Please check out the partners page to see the full list of all implemented payment service providers.

Backup

Nearly as catastrophic as having data stolen is to lose it. YourShop dumps your database records daily and stores a copy on a backup server.
Additionally customers who choose the file import/export feature can save their data elsewhere.

Privacy

YourShop does not collect nor share email addresses of your clients under any circumstances.
