Privacy and Protection  Policy

AppraisalPro Credit Card Protection Policy AppraisalPro values your trust in the online billing process. Therefore, we have taken several steps to protect your credit card information. Local Encryption: Encryption means your data is scrambled into 1000's of fragments which are unreadable without the encryption codes.   Through our software, anyone inside the AppraisalPro office can only see the last 4 digits of any card. This is only done with your permission and strictly for authentication purposes. Our Auto Invoice System is the only system that can unscramble the entire card number. No Human has access to this confidential information. Card Discrepancys -  The CCV code on the back of all credit cards is a three digit code that provides an extra layer of security.  When this code is required , it does not allow someone to use your card who may have only stolen your number.  We require this code as part of all of our transactions. Fair Credit Billing Act: We would rather lose one transaction fee than lose your trust. Therefore, we strictly adhere to and honor the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA). FCBA was designed to protect you from malicious use of your financial information. It allows you to "dispute" any credit card charge for a number of reasons. For a list of the types of disputes covered and instructions on handling a dispute, click here. Alternatively, you can send an email to payments@appraisalpro.net to get details on any charge processed by AppraisalPro. Web Inputting Option: Every time you give your card to an individual person, whether it is at your favorite restaurant or a local retail store, there is a chance of that person using your card for malicious purposes. It was for this reason that we created our own secure, encrypted online entry form, located at both www.appraisalpro.net/order2.htm   and on the acceptance page for new orders. With these two forms, you have the ability to guarantee that no human being sees your card information. SSL: Short for Secure Socket Layer, it is a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a public key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection. SSL protects your data from hackers watching your computer or ours for information passing back and forth.
