At Hobby Velvet, your security is our priority. We have built our checkout experience on industry-leading technology so you can complete every purchase with total confidence. This page explains exactly how we protect your payment and personal information.
1. Powered by Stripe
All payments on hobbyvelvet.shop are processed by Stripe — one of the world's most trusted and widely used payment platforms. Stripe is used by millions of businesses globally and is certified to the highest standards in payment security.
Stripe handles all sensitive payment data directly. Your card number, CVV, and banking details are never seen, stored, or handled by Hobby Velvet at any point during the transaction.
2. PCI-DSS Level 1 Certified
Stripe holds PCI-DSS Level 1 certification — the highest level of compliance available in the payment card industry. This means every transaction processed through our checkout meets the most rigorous global standards for:
- Encryption of cardholder data
- Secure transmission of payment information
- Regular security testing and auditing
- Strict access controls on payment systems
3. SSL / TLS Encryption
Every page on hobbyvelvet.shop — including our checkout — is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. This means:
- All data transmitted between your browser and our website is fully encrypted
- Your personal and payment information cannot be intercepted by third parties
- You will always see a padlock icon in your browser's address bar when shopping on our site
If you ever do not see the padlock icon on hobbyvelvet.shop, please do not proceed and contact us immediately at support@hobbyvelvet.shop.
4. Accepted Payment Methods
We offer a range of secure, trusted payment options at checkout:
- Credit Card — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover
- Debit Card — all major debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo
- Apple Pay — fast, biometric-secured checkout on Apple devices
- Google Pay — fast, secure checkout on Android devices and Chrome
- Link by Stripe — one-click checkout that securely saves your payment details for faster future purchases
All methods are processed through Stripe's secure infrastructure.
5. Fraud Protection
We use Stripe's built-in fraud detection tools — including Stripe Radar — to monitor every transaction for suspicious activity. This helps protect both you and Hobby Velvet from unauthorized use of payment methods.
If we detect any unusual activity on an order, we may:
- Place the order on hold pending verification
- Contact you directly to confirm the transaction
- Cancel the order and issue a full refund if we are unable to verify the transaction
6. We Never Store Your Card Details
Hobby Velvet does not store, log, or have access to your full credit card number, expiry date, or CVV at any time. When you save a payment method for future use, it is stored securely within Stripe's encrypted vault — not on our servers.
7. Your Data at Checkout
The only information we collect during checkout is what is necessary to process and fulfill your order:
- Your name and email address
- Your shipping and billing address
- Your selected payment method (handled by Stripe)
This information is used solely to complete your purchase and deliver your order. For full details on how we handle your data, please see our Privacy Policy.
8. Safe Shopping Tips
To help keep your account and payment information safe, we recommend:
- Always shop from a trusted, private network — avoid using public Wi-Fi for purchases
- Keep your browser and operating system up to date
- Use strong, unique passwords for any accounts you create
- Log out of your account after shopping on shared devices
- Contact us immediately at support@hobbyvelvet.shop if you notice any unauthorized activity related to your order
