Data encryption and storage
All data is encrypted via infomaniak with Sectigo using SSL protocol to protect all data related to personal and commercial information as well as means of payment exchanged between your computer and our servers. All site pages are secured with URL addresses beginning with https:// (where the "s" stands for secure), like https://www.h2o-sensations.com. Information is encrypted and therefore protected before being transferred over the Internet. This prevents anyone intercepting the data stream from decoding anything.
Payment and Invoicing
H2O Sensations has been working with PostFinance since 2004. It is therefore possible to make cash payments as well as bank transfers to H2O Sensations accounts with PostFinance.
As far as credit/debit card payments are concerned, we've had a few experiences with large institutions such as PayPal, Braintree and Sumup, but a number of problems led us to terminate all commercial relations with these establishments. The majority of debit and credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Postcard, Twint, Google pay and Apple pay are accessed via our partner Saferpay, also known as Six Payment and Worldline. On-site payment tools and a payment terminal are available at the depot.
Then there's the king of payments, cash. Cash is welcome and much appreciated. In fact, it's the only payment method that doesn't cost H2O Sensations anything. The amount paid remains in full for your H2O Sensations. Every transaction is accounted for and recorded, 99% of them are saved on the eshop.
