This Payment Security Policy outlines the protocols and technologies used by Lingeriesockgrid to ensure a secure transaction environment for our customers. We are operated by a registered business in New Zealand and maintain strict alignment between our operational identity and payment registration.

1. Secure Payment Processing (Stripe)
All payments on www.lingeriesockgrid.com are processed via Stripe, a global leader in payment technology.

Encrypted Transactions: Every transaction is handled using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology to ensure that your sensitive data is encrypted.

PCI-DSS Compliance: Lingeriesockgrid adheres to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. We do not store, process, or have access to your full credit card numbers or CVV codes on our internal servers.

Seamless Checkout: Customers are not required to hold a Stripe account to complete a purchase.

2. Accepted Payment Methods
To provide flexibility and security, we accept the following verified payment methods:

Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express.

Digital Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay.

Regional Methods: Selected electronic wallets available at the time of checkout.

Billing Note: For your clarity, the charge on your bank statement will typically appear as LINGERIESOCKGRID or the name of our registered parent entity. Please retain your order confirmation email for easy reconciliation.

3. Transaction Monitoring & Fraud Prevention
To protect our customers and our platform from unauthorised activity:

Stripe’s advanced machine-learning tools monitor all transactions for irregular patterns.

Lingeriesockgrid reserves the right to perform additional identity verification or decline orders that appear inconsistent with legitimate purchasing behaviour.

In cases of suspected unauthorised use, we may contact the customer or the banking institution to ensure the transaction's validity.

4. Data Privacy & Handling
Your information is handled in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act and GDPR standards.

Information collected during checkout (such as billing address and email) is used solely for order fulfilment, payment administration, and fraud review.
