Don't Panic. What is the worst thing that can happen at BandTrax/MIDI247?
Besides nothing!
a. Your password, (the one that allows YOU
an extra discount as an Elite Member), could be viewed by others. As a
BandTrax/MIDI247 Elite Member, it can't be used or benefited by anyone but
you. We have a security certificate so apparently you're safe. Even if
your password could be used by someone else, they would need a credit
card, and then the files would be sent to the password holder ... you.
This means that YOU get the files, the 'crook' used someone's credit card
and the payment gateway authorised it.
b. BandTrax/MIDI247 do not have a messaging service. If someone could view
that, best of luck.
c. Your credit card details are
NOT on, or collected by BandTrax/MIDI247.
They are provided, by you, to a financial gateway (National Australia
Bank, PayPal, Credit Card Provider). These financial gateways have their
own security certificates and implementations that are
NOT part of
BandTrax/MIDI247. If someone could view those details, they got into and
bypassed some of the most secure systems ever.
d. BandTrax/MIDI247 do not have an etc. Best of luck viewing that.
Any transaction between you and your financial institution is strictly
between you and that financial institution. BandTrax/MIDI247 developed the
web site to operate this way for a reason. BandTrax/MIDI247
DO NOT
want to see or record your private financial details. The only details
recorded when you place an order are your name, address, contact phone,
email and IP address (we are required to do so by law).
BandTrax/MIDI247
DO NOT see, know, or have access to any of your
personal financial details. Those details are strictly between you and
your chosen financial method.
If there is a failure to receive your order by the method YOU requested,
this may be due to security levels/settings way out of our control. All
you need do is politely advise us here, and we will re-send. However, if
you wish to be a keyboard warrior by sending abuse and making social media
threats, we will all have a bit of a laugh and consider you lower than
blue-green algae in a stagnant pond.
Privacy Laws restrict access to your personal details outside of direct
business agreement operations between yourself and the business operator
or representative of that business. We have always operated under those
guidelines so nothing has changed for us and our clients. Any information
provided is private and kept on isolated secure systems. This information
is only used for processing your order, to administer accounting and to
notify you of new releases or special offers. We do not trade in personal
information. The only way we have of contacting you, is by you providing
us those limited details. Laws also restrict to who and where your details
may be made available.
Your chosen financial gateway will ask for your account details, or your
credit card number, CVV number, expiration date, card holder's name and
your email address. We DO NOT have access to those gateway details,
at this stage you are now with your chosen gateway,
NOT BandTrax/MIDI247.
Governments and law enforcement can access ALL details.

If you are using the above browsers, they
will, or will not, advise you accordingly.
Government departments, NGO's, banks, holiday ticket suppliers, energy
providers, phone companies, vehicle providers, credit card providers, Ebay,
PayPal, Social Media, and many others know much more about you than
BandTrax/MIDI247 ever want to know. If you are really paranoid, or have
the need to hide, use the Opera Browser. It will allow you to use a VPN
(Virtual Private Network) "With a VPN, you always remain secure and
anonymous on the Internet." And be afraid ... very afraid.
So, how does 'credit card fraud', 'identity theft' and 'blackmail' work on
the internet? It is very easy to do. You need to think outside of the box,
think logically and be a crook. As a bonus, people will allow themselves
to cheat on their partners or employers, expose themselves on Social
Networks, etc. Just the things crooks love. If you're still not sure about
this, Google it.
BandTrax/MIDI247 have been doing this PROPERLY for more than 20 years, yet
now we need to pay someone LARGE sums of money to get a 'security
certificate' to prove we're not crooks. Google will then assume we're
genuine.
How does that work Mr Google? |
