Data security
HOTUSA has one of the safest technologies, as far as the protection of your credit card data is concerned. It also complies with all international standards that legislate the subject. All sections of HOTUSA where we request sensitive information use the SSL communication protocol. This means that the information that travels through the Internet from your computer to our server makes it encrypted, making them indecipherable to any outsider. This technology ensures and guarantees, that your data can not be intercepted, manipulated or impersonated, in any way. This way, payment through Internet is now as safe as direct purchase.
What does SSL mean?
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a standard Internet security technology. Applies an encryption system (coding) that provides maximum confidentiality of the data transmitted to us. This prevents illegal entry or interception in a system while the data circulates on the Internet. For greater security, this data is stored in a secure server protected by a "firewall" in continuous monitoring.
