3.5 How will DMG protect your information?

All information held is on a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Here at our premises the information is also held in secure form and is not accessible to anyone outside of DMG staff. This provides many security features.

Authentication: This assures your browser that your data is being sent to the correct computer server, and that the server is secure. 

Encryption: This encodes the data, so that it cannot be read anywhere other than the secure server.

Data integrity: This checks the data being transferred to ensure it has not been altered. Communication between the merchant’s site server and real credit occurs via the internet using the simple commerce messaging protocol (SCMP). SCMP uses DES and public key cryptography to provide privacy, message authentication, no-repudiation and integrity. SCMP messages are digitally signed and converted to ASCII format (“armoured”) from transmission over a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connection, enabling messages to pass though firewalls and proxy servers

Furthermore, as required by the UK Data Protection Act, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access. 

It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and your computers. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer. 

3.6 Consent
