Security-General

Security of our service is probably one of our most significant concerns for both yourself (the shopper) and us (the information service provider), during your on-line transaction.  Generally, on-line transactions are more secure than card transactions in a shop or those conducted over the telephone or by fax, as your information is transmitted highly encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations.

We, at PropVals.co.uk, will use the WorldPay payment system for processing your transaction, which uses a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data.Furthermore, WorldPay’s public web servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority, ensuring that both yourself and ourselves can have confidence that nobody can impersonate WorldPay to obtain confidential information.

Transaction encryption

The transfer of the purchase details from the PropVals.co.uk web site to WorldPay are encapsulated using WorldPay’s 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.

Security for you, the shopper

Any comunication between yourself as a shopper and WorldPay is also encrypted to the maximum strength supported by the shopper’s browser using TLS or 128-bit SSL.  Shoppers are also protected from fraudulent use of their card in a “card not present” environment, by their card issuers.  Your card issuer provides the right for you, the shopper, to dispute a transaction if the goods/services did not arrive or if the card was used fraudulently.

Data storage

Data storage on the 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.
