Secure transactions
When Customers pay using a credit card, Violet asks them to provide their card number, expiration date and the last three (or four) digits of the number printed on the reverse of the card. Various servers are then accessed to check the data and prevent misuse and fraud. During this process the server is in encrypted mode and all personal information in transit is coded; this renders it impossible to read it using the Internet. To ensure optimum security for Internet transactions, Customers are offered an SSL (secure socket layer) online payment system enabling their banker's card number to be encrypted. For all such processing, guarantees provided by Violet for transaction security are the same as those provided to Violet by the software manufacturers. To benefit from the SSL secure payment method, Customers must use browsers that are SSL-compatible. Compatible browsers are: Firefox version 2.0 or higher, Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher and Safari version 2.0 or higher.

Personal data
Under the terms of the data protection French law 78-17 of January 6 1978, information requested from Customers is that necessary for processing their order and destined for Violet's use only. Customers retain a right of access to information held about them. All such information is available on request and may be rectified in case of error or change.
