Security Statement

Effective Date: June 13, 2026

At Backstreet Books, the security of your personal and financial information is something we take seriously. Every transaction on our website is handled with industry-standard protections designed to keep your data private and your purchases safe.

1. SSL Encryption

Our website operates entirely over HTTPS, secured by 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. This means that any information you submit — including your name, address, payment details, and login credentials — is encrypted in transit and cannot be read by unauthorized parties.

2. PCI DSS-Compliant Payment Processing

All payment transactions are handled through PCI DSS-certified payment gateways. This standard requires that:

  • Your full credit card number is never stored on our servers
  • Payment data is tokenized, replacing sensitive card details with secure tokens
  • Every transaction is monitored in real time for signs of fraud

3. Data Storage and Access Controls

Customer data is stored on secure, access-restricted servers. Access to personal information is limited to authorized team members only, and all access events are logged and reviewed. We follow a principle of data minimization — we collect only what is necessary to serve you.

4. Fraud Detection

We use automated fraud detection systems that review transactions for unusual patterns. If an order is flagged, we may contact you to verify your identity before proceeding. This protects both you and Backstreet Books from unauthorized purchases.

5. Your Role in Account Security

We encourage you to take the following steps to protect your own account:

  • Use a strong, unique password for your Backstreet Books account
  • Never share your login credentials with anyone
  • Always log out after shopping on a shared or public device
  • Contact us immediately if you notice any unauthorized activity on your account

6. Reporting a Security Issue

If you suspect your account has been compromised, or if you discover a potential security vulnerability on our site, please contact us right away at info@backstreetbooks.com. We treat all security reports seriously and will investigate promptly.
