Both you as a customer and we at Mynt are responsible for ensuring that personal information is not used incorrectly. You need to make sure that your digital devices such as computers, phones and tablets are protected, but also that you use your personal information securely.
Cards, mobile phones and computers with passwords are valuable documents that you should keep so that they are not accessible to others. Do not lend these documents of value to anyone, not even those closest to you.
Check that your assignment is correct before signing BankID
You will always receive information about what you are signing in the BankID app when you are about to approve with your PIN. It is important to check that the information matches the assignment you have placed in the app or online banking.
Use virus protection software
If your computer is “infected” by computer viruses, you not only run the risk of losing important information or that unauthorized people can access it. The virus can also incur considerable costs to restore the computer equipment in working condition.To reduce the risks of this, you should make sure that your computer has a virus protection. We recommend that you use an antivirus program that is constantly updated.
Verify that communication is secure
Before you provide personal data or other important information online, you should check that it is a secure, encrypted, connection.
This you can see in the following way:
That there is a padlock in the lower right corner of your computer screen or that the URL starts with “https”.
- Only give away your digipass code or password if your browser shows an encrypted connection (padlock symbol in the browser or the address starts at https://).
- Do not provide personal, credit, bank card or account numbers on a website that is not secure.
- Don't forget to log out — both from the websites and the computer you've visited.
Firewalls are security systems that aim to prevent unauthorized access of information. Installing a firewall reduces the risk of unauthorized intrusion.If you are using a fixed connection to the Internet, you may be exposed to unauthorized intrusion as long as your computer is connected to the Internet, usually as long as your computer is turned on.
