This site uses Yahoo Merchant to
handle all web store transactions. Yahoo! takes
your security seriously and takes reasonable steps to
protect your information. No data transmission over
the Internet or information storage technology can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. The following is a
summary of the measures Yahoo! takes to protect your
information and descriptions of ways we implement
these measures for different types of information you
may provide to us.
Security for buyers when
ordering through a Yahoo! Store
The following is a description of steps Yahoo! takes
to protect your information from misuse when ordering
through a Yahoo! Store.
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Yahoo! Store
uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when
transmitting certain kinds of information, such as
financial services information or payment
information. An icon resembling a padlock is
displayed on the bottom of most browsers window
during SSL transactions that involve credit cards
and other forms of payment. Any time a Yahoo! Store
asks for a credit card number during checkout for
payment, it will be SSL encrypted. The information
you provide will be stored securely on our servers.
- CISP Compliance: Yahoo! Merchant
Solutions is certified CISP-compliant. Created by
Visa and MasterCard, the Cardholder Information
Security Program (CISP) outlines a standard for
security procedures for merchants and service
providers that store, process, or transmit
cardholder data.

Security
Steps We Have Taken
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Yahoo! uses
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when
transmitting certain kinds of information, such as
financial services information or payment
information. An icon resembling a padlock is
displayed on the bottom of most browsers window
during SSL transactions that involve credit cards
and other forms of payment. Any time Yahoo! asks you
for a credit card number on Yahoo! for payment or
for verification purposes, it will be SSL encrypted.
The information you provide will be stored securely
on our servers. Once you choose to store or enter
your credit card number on Yahoo!, it will not be
displayed back to you in its entirety when you
retrieve or edit it in the future. Instead of the
entire number, you will only see asterisks and
either the first four digits or the last four digits
of your number.
- Security Key: The Yahoo! Security Key is
an additional optional layer of security to control
access to sensitive information or services on
Yahoo!. Users of financial services such as Yahoo!
Wallet, Yahoo! Bill Pay, and Yahoo! Merchant
Solutions are asked to create a security key during
the sign-up process or when you purchase certain
services that require a Yahoo! Wallet. Please note
that the Security Key automatically "times out"
after an hour and requires the user to sign in again
to access Security Key protected areas.
- Secure Storage: Yahoo! maintains
reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards that complywith federal regulations to
protect personal information about you.
- Vendors and Partners: Yahoo! works with vendors
and partners to protect the security and privacy of
user information.
- Employee and Contractor Access to
Information: Yahoo! limits access to personal
information about you to those employees who we
reasonably believe need to come into contact with
that information to provide products or services to
you or in order to do their jobs.
Education and Training for Employees: Yahoo! has
implemented a company-wide education and training
program about security that is required of every
Yahoo! employee.
