--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All online credit and debit card transactions are processed by WorldPay the World's leading secure credit card processor. We never see any of your card details as all processing is carried out between WorldPay and your Bank. In addition we use Square Trade's Daily Security Audit to ensure our own systems are protected against hackers. We are also a member of the Safebuy Assured program.

SafeBuy Assurance Scheme is for web-based retailers and is operated by Software Research Ltd.

It is endorsed by TrustUK, the industry’s self-regulatory body set up by Which? and the Alliance for Electronic Business, supported by the UK Government.

Trust UKThe Scheme, amongst other things, requires web retailers to:

  • Adhere to the terms of the Sale of Goods Act, the EU Distance Selling Regulations and the EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications;
  • Conform to the Data Protection Act 1998;
  • Provide security for the processing of credit card transactions;
  • Include physical location and contact details for themselves on their website;
  • Display the total price consumers must pay for goods including delivery costs and provide a clear explanation of the delivery procedures;
  • Advise the consumer if 'cookies' are required for the processing of data;
  • Not use 'spam' for marketing purposes;
  • Avoid exploitation of children.

 

WorldPay's Security Statement

Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the shopper and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality an online transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone or by fax, as the information transmitted online is highly encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations.

The WorldPay payment system uses a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data. Furthermore, our public web servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority, ensuring that both the shopper and retailer can have confidence that nobody can impersonate WorldPay to obtain confidential information.

Transaction Encryption

The transfer of the purchase details from the retailers site to WorldPay are encapsulated using our own encrypted and digitally-signed protocol. This uses a combination of standard methods such as PGP, RSA and MD5 to ensure that the information passed is secure and tamper-proof.

Data Storage

Data storage on WorldPay systems, and the communication between WorldPay and the worldwide banking networks, is regularly audited by the banking authorities to ensure a secure transaction environment. We also ensure that we stay up-to-date with the latest versions of any third-party code we use, and continually review our own proprietary code.

Please note that we reserve the right to send items to the Registered Card Address ONLY. We usually waive this if the address is BFPO, Military or Police address.
