Security

D_Star Media and DIASPORA World Beat have taken every precaution to ensure safety and privacy whilst shopping from our online store. Our e-commerce system uses Secure Sockets Layer technology (SSL) to ensure shopping is safe and secure at all times. This is the most reputable online trading system used by all well known e-commerce sites. SSL locks all information passed from you to DIASPORA in an encrypted envelope.

SSL is compatible with Netscape, Internet Explorer, AOL, Web TV and most other browsers. You will know when transmitted data is safe by the appearance of a security notice when you enter a secure page. Also, a security icon will appear on your browser. For Netscape, this is a key icon; for Microsoft Internet Explorer, a lock icon.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and will not sell or trade unauthorised use of personal information. We will not pass on your personal details to any third party organisation. Any personal information that you submit will only be used to process your orders and is protected by our secure server.

For DIASPORA to process your order, we need information such as your name, email or contact number, delivery address and payment details. We will occasionally use phone numbers and email addresses provided to us to communicate with customers about payments as well as addresses to check against credit card billing addresses etc.

In cases where fraud or other crime is suspected, we do communicate with Banks and other relevant authorities. Many of these checks are done manually and communication is handled carefully by a member of our customer service team.
