Secure Shopping

Why you can feel secure shopping with us

When you shop with us, our payment gateway - PayPal encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use Protx which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. PayPal are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.

Industry leading transaction security

We use the established internet payment company PayPal to protect your card details and protect us from fraud. The following security systems are used as described by PayPal.

 PayPal use fraud prevention technology that monitors transactions for suspicious activity.

  • We have a team of over 2,000 specialists including former law enforcement officials, working to protect you from fraud and identity theft.
  • To help weed out fraudulent activity, every transaction is reviewed by state of the art models.
  • We ensure users who send or receive large amounts of money have successfully completed our verification system and identity check.

PayPal uses state of the art encryption

Safeguarding your financial and personal information is one of our most important priorities. That’s why we automatically encrypt all sensitive information sent between your computer and our systems, ensuring your information is kept private.

The geeky details

When registering or logging in to our site, we verify that your Internet browser is running Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher. Information is protected by SSL with an encryption key length of 168 bits (the highest level commercially available). We store your personal information and ensure it’s heavily guarded, both physically and electronically. To further safeguard your debit and credit card numbers and your bank account details, we do not directly connect our firewall-protected servers to the internet.

Links to banks. PayPal has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.

Employee access. No individuals within In2crafting or PayPal are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Our systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your transaction information and customer card information is secure even from our own employees because our systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
