Security
When registering your details with TAXIS, or when logging into the TAXIS job offer and payment system, your information passes to our secure servers using the latest 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology. This works by using a private key to encrypt data that is then transferred over the SSL connection.
SSL is an industry standard protocol by which your computer or mobile device can securely communicate with the TAXIS servers. Anyone intercepting the message will receive only indecipherable garbage, since the messages are encoded with the public keys of the two computers exchanging information, but must be decrypted with their private keys, which are not distributed.
The security provided is three-fold. Firstly, the data is encrypted - which basically means that the information is jumbled up so that it can't be read by the wrong people. Secondly, SSL provides server authentication - that is, it ensures that you're communicating with a TAXIS server, and nobody else. Finally, SSL provides data integrity, ensuring a third party can't modify your data along its journey.
This also means your taxi driver, or any guests you have authorised to travel on your account, never see your credit card details. There's no chance of your number being recorded and fraudulently used afterwards, since your details are never displayed. Instead they confidentially pass via our financial industry authorised payment gateway provider to the banking system. At the time of payment an automatically generated email is sent to your registered address advising of the transaction, keeping you immediately informed of all account activity.
TAXIS is serious about your privacy, and we're committed to keeping abreast of the very latest developments in online security. If you have any questions or comments regarding our security policy, please contact customer-service@taxis.net.au.
