All Spares3you online transactions are carried out via WorldPay. WorldPay
ensure the security and integrity of each transaction. Please see the WorldPay
security statement below.
Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the
consumer and the retailer during an on-line transaction. In reality an on-line
transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or
conducted over the telephone or by fax. Information transmitted on-line is
encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations, unlike these other methods
that use standard medium coding.
The WorldPay Select payment gateway uses a combination of both established
and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive
data, protecting both the retailers and their shoppers.
All communication between the shopper and WorldPay is encrypted to the
maximum strength supported by the shopper's browser using TLS or SSL (security).
Our public web servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority,
ensuring that shoppers and retailers alike can have confidence that nobody can
impersonate WorldPay to obtain confidential information.
All communication between the retailer and WorldPay, including the details of
the purchase, 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 on WorldPay systems, and the communication between WorldPay and
the worldwide banking networks, is regularly audited by the banks themselves. We
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, using current best
practice at all times.
The cardholder is further protected:
Card issuers protect cardholders from fraudulent use of their card in a “card
not present” environment, such as over the Internet or telephone. As the shopper
did not sign for the goods they have the absolute right to demand a chargeback
if those goods did not arrive or the card was used fraudulently. |
