Security
When registering your financial details with TAXIS, or when logging into the TAXIS job offer and payment system your information are passed through a secure server 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 our servers. Anyone intercepting the message will receive only indecipherable garbage, since the messages are encoded with the public keys of the conversants, but must be decrypted with their private keys, which are not distributed.
The security it provides 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. SSL provides data integrity, which ensures that 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 for the purpose of later fraudulent use, or identity theft, since your details are never displayed: they simply pass securely via our payment gateway provider to the banking system, without ever being displayed. At the time of payment an email is automatically sent to your registered address advising of the transaction, keeping you immediately informed of all account activity.
TAXIS is serious about ensuring your details remain secure, 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-support@taxis.net.au.
