Security

In order to guarantee the most secure platform for those who wish to use their credit card to make donations, the Association Pian dei Ciliegi has adopted the use of PayPal. The security and functionality of this service is guaranteed in the following ways: credit card information is inserted directly into a secure PayPal server with SSL cryptography and is not memorized on the Pian dei Ciliegi server. No one besides PayPal can come into contact with the credit card data, and the user does not require any certificate of authentication, but can simply utilize any standard web browser.

As far as the verification of your credit card and the response from the international circuit is concerned, PayPal uses the same system as P.O.S., which has been widely approved and offers a continuity of service in accordance with current standards of the market. When a user decides to make a donation, on pressing the button “PROCEED”, they are redirected to a payment page on PayPal’s secure server. Here they will find the form in which the credit card details are to be inserted, and the insertion of the data occurs in a manner that guarantees the donor total security. PayPal gathers the information relative to the transaction (the amount, the expiry date of the card) and passes it on to an international circuit of authorization in the same way as a transaction takes place through P.O.S. Through this circuit, the institution that has issued the card is contacted, and they approve or disapprove the request for authorization and communicate it to PayPal. PayPal, in turn, redirects the client to the web page of the Association Pian dei Ciliegi, providing confirmation (or not) that the donation has been effectuated. During this entire process only one check on the credit card is carried out, and the transaction is financially concluded within 20 days of the date of the donation.
