Security
The payment page you are using to complete your credit card purchase is hosted at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) main transaction processing site under contract to the Province of British Columbia. This site incorporates the high levels of security used by the banking industry today. Some of the features being used to protect your transaction include:
| |
128-bit SSL encryption*
|
| |
Industrial-strength firewalls
|
| |
Stringent internal security access procedures |
| |
Constant monitoring of all internal systems to ensure there have been no security attacks or attempted break-ins |
| |
Secure communications line between the ministry and the transaction processing site |
* 128-bit SSL encryption works by scrambling all of the information sent between your computer and the CIBC's transaction processing centre across the Internet, for those who have enabled this feature in their browser.
At no time is your complete credit card information entered or stored in a ministry computer or database. Access to the data you enter on this page is governed by the privacy provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) and will only be used to process the transaction and for the purpose for which the information is obtained or compiled or for a use consistent with that purpose.
