Credit Card Processing and Security
The Account Holder credit card information is stored in our secure 256bit SSL encrypted billing software. Actual credit card processing is done via our credit card processors; Authorize.net and NOT by The Turn Group. Both companies have the highest level of SSL security and encryption when it comes to processing your transactions. The only time The Turn Group will access your credit card information is when charging you for "agreed and invoiced" services outside our monthly billing system or for account verification purposes.
