In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, Wild Meadow has put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Multiple security layers safeguard this site. Multilayer security is the practice of adding secondary or tertiary layers of security controls throughout a technology system. The idea is creating multiple obstacles in order to secure the sensitive information that may be transmitted through a website.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Our site has an SSL certificate. SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a technology for keeping an internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, including credit card numbers and personally identifiable information. It helps prevent criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred. An indicator of a website's SSL status is the web browser address bar will have a padlock icon and the site will begin with "https" instead of "http." When submitting any personal information, whether email or credit card information, on any website through a contact form or checkout process, ensure the site has SSL.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). All e-commerce websites must follow the requirements outlined by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). The PCI DSS is a set of security standards designed to ensure that ALL companies which accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Our process, website, and our payment processing through Square is PCI-DSS compliant, maintaining a secure network. The checkout process for our site is completely safe and secure to use. No credit card information is ever stored anywhere, including our system, server, or records.

EMV compliant. Our payment processor, Square, is EMV compliant. Chip-enabled credit cards are also called EMV-enabled credit cards due to the EMV technology that was used to create them. EMV stands for "Europay, Mastercard and Visa" and signifies the three major credit card providers. EMV compliance is the global payment technology standard that was established as a method to protect consumers and merchants from credit card fraud. EMV compliance law stipulates that all businesses need to upgrade their point-of-sale (POS) systems to accommodate EMV chip cards and EMV compliance.

Payment processor security. Square's APIs, hardware, and software are compliant with PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and EMV regulations. From the time you enter your credit card information online, or tap, dip, or swipe a credit card, the data is encrypted until it reaches Square's processing environment. Customer data never touches our servers.

User accounts. Another security layer is when customers use accounts and log in to use our website.

Company applications and software security. The technology that we use to operate our business is secure, including multi-step authentication and verification for employees logging into our company's system, applications, and software.
