Our Security Policy
GPP(UK) Ltd. uses Cardsave - a member of the WorldPay Group. We now use Cardsave's internet payment system, because it offers maximum security both for us and for you the customer. The Cardsave system has a high level of security because of the credit checking it offers. It checks the card for 3 "green-lights", and only then is your transaction approved. The 3 "green-lights" are
- The card is authorised to take payment (ie. not reported lost or stolen, there is money on the account)
- The CVV2 number on the reverse of the card is correct
- The cardholders address is correct as given.
Additionally, card holders who are enrolled with Visa's "Verified by Visa" and MasterCard's "MasterCard SecureCode" will be passed
through the 3D secure trust chain throughout the transaction.
If your card is being used fraudulently, and these "green-lights" are not triggered, the transaction will fail, which protects you from someone else using your card fraudulently. The address checking particularly offers you great security against anyone using your card fraudulently. In the incredibly unlikely event of this happening, you would simply return the goods for a full refund.
When you make a payment you can see that the page is fully secure, with "https" (of which the "s" means "secure")
Also you will also see the yellow padlock icon on the bottom right of your screen, again proving that the page is secure.
We have our own SSL certificate that is dedicated to our server only. This means you can make 100% secure transactions with us.
