All web pages on our site including the Shopping Cart & Checkout payment pages are SSL certified and 128 bit encrypted (the current international standard recognised by governments for online security). This means that the information that is sent to and from the server is encrypted. If someone was to intercept your information they would not be able to interpret it. Do note, however, that you still need to protect your own computer from attack by running appropriate anti-virus and firewall software.

Online financial transactions on the website are made and processed directly through Square (the payment gateway), a widely used reputable online payment facility.

You will notice, at all times during the checkout process, a padlock at the top of your browser. This indicates that the connection between your computer and the shopping cart is safe and secure. You will also notice that the shopping cart page URL (the ‘web address’ at the top of the screen) begins with https://, also indicating that this is a security-protected web page.

When you make purchases online through this process, the Melbourne School of Philosophy is given access to your home address, telephone number and email address, but not your credit card information. Your email address is needed so that your receipt can be sent to you. The Melbourne School of Philosophy will never share this information with other parties. Your personal information is safely stored on our system and cannot be accessed by any third party.
