This Payment Security Policy explains how payments made through the Trueergochair website are processed, secured, and how your payment-related information is handled in compliance with industry standards.
1. Secure Payment Processing
All online payments on this website are processed securely by Stripe, which acts as our designated independent third-party payment service provider. Payment processing is carried out through Stripe’s encrypted payment gateways in strict accordance with global payment card standards and relevant data protection regulations. Trueergochair does not directly process or store your payment card details on our own servers.
2. Billing Descriptor & Account Information
The business information registered with our Stripe account corresponds directly with the entity operating this website. Upon a successful transaction, the applicable billing descriptor that will appear on your credit card or bank statement is: Trueergochair (or [XXX]) Customers are encouraged to recognize this descriptor when reviewing financial statements to prevent accidental disputes or confusion regarding purchases made on our website.
3. Available Payment Methods
Depending on availability at checkout and your geographic location, you may securely pay using:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- American Express
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Supported electronic wallets
The specific payment methods available for an individual transaction will be dynamically displayed during the checkout process.
4. Payment Without a Stripe Account
Customers are not required to create, possess, or log in to a Stripe account to complete a purchase. Payments can be seamlessly completed using the direct guest checkout options presented on our payment page, subject to standard card issuer requirements.
5. Transaction Monitoring & SCA (Strong Customer Authentication)
Stripe processes all transactions using advanced fraud detection and secure infrastructure.
- Fraud Prevention: Stripe conducts real-time payment risk assessments and monitors transactions for potentially irregular activity to protect both the customer and our business from fraudulent charges.
- 3D Secure / SCA: In compliance with UK and European regulatory requirements (such as PSD2), your transaction may be subject to Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). You may be temporarily redirected to your bank’s 3D Secure portal to verify the payment via a one-time password (OTP) or banking app approval.
6. PCI-DSS Compliance & Payment Information
All payment transactions are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Customers must enter payment information exclusively through the designated, encrypted payment fields provided at checkout. For your security, never send complete credit card numbers, CVV/CVC security codes, or banking passwords to us via email, telephone, or any other unencrypted communication channel.
7. Data Protection & Privacy
We process all customer information in strict accordance with applicable UK and European Data Protection Laws (including the GDPR). Information associated with payments is processed only to the extent necessary to complete transactions, fulfill orders, conduct fraud screening, and meet statutory financial reporting obligations. For comprehensive details on how your personal data is collected and retained, please review our Privacy Policy.
8. Cookies and Consent
Our website utilizes a Cookie consent mechanism to provide transparency regarding tracking technologies. Non-essential cookies (including those used for advanced analytics or marketing) are deployed only after the customer has explicitly clicked “Accept.” Essential cookies necessary for core website operations—including secure checkout and payment session management—are utilized as permitted by law. Please refer to our Cookie Policy for further details.
9. Payment-Related Communications
To ensure transparency, transactional updates will be automatically communicated to the email address provided during checkout. These communications may include:
- Payment receipts and order confirmations
- Updates on payment processing status
- Requests for additional verification (if flagged by security systems)
