The City of Hampton has taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its data and prevent unauthorized access to the information it maintains which includes authentication, monitoring, auditing, and encryption. Security measures have been built into the design, implementation and day-to-day practices of the entire operating environment as a part of its continuing commitment to risk management. These measures are designed and intended to prevent corruption of data, block unknown or unauthorized access to our systems and information, as well as provide reasonable protection of private information we possess.

Electronic Commerce
Visitors to the City of Hampton web site now have the option of making electronic payment for goods and services. Such transactions are allowed only under tightly controlled circumstances, where there are appropriate technological and other safeguards in place to protect financial and other sensitive data.
The design of the electronic commerce systems supported on the City's web site is such that financial data remains primarily with appropriate financial institutions. Wherever possible, financial information is not seen or collected by the City itself, but rather by designated banks that route the data, transfer the funds and confirm payment to both the web customer and the City. In addition, measures including but not limited to encryption are used to ensure the integrity and security of the web customer's financial information.
