Security

We make sure that all of your details are safe. 'Secure socket layer' (SSL) technology is used to encrypt all the data. Verified by Visa (VbV) and Mastercard, Secure Code (MSC) / 3-D Secure technologies help to secure payments by credit cards.

We use 'Secure socket layer' (SSL) technology foremost to encrypt your payment card to ensure your details are safe, both before an order is processed and when it is stored on our database. In fact, we encrypt all of the processed data. Secure encryption is done with the services of Comodo CA.

Next to encryption we only work with reliable payment solutions. Verified by Visa (VbV) and Mastercard Secure Code (MSC), often referred to as 3-D Secure or Payment Authentication are fine examples. 3-D secure for instance acts just like a Chip & Pin for your online purchases and protects you by asking for your secret password. For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not send credit card details by email.

SSL technology

Comodo CA is the global leader in Cyber Security Solutions which among others issues SSL certificates. TLS/SSL is a standard security protocol which establishes encrypted links between a web-server and a browser, thereby ensuring that all communication that happens between a web server and browser(s) remains encrypted and hence private.

Verified by Visa (VbV) and Mastercard, Secure Code (MSC) / 3D secure

Verified by Visa (VbV) and Mastercard, Secure Code (MSC), often referred to as 3-D Secure or Payment Authentication, is the latest fraud prevention initiative launched by the card schemes as a more secure method for authenticating the cardholder at the time of the transaction. Both schemes work in the same way by using personal passwords, set by you the cardholder, to add an extra layer of protection when you shop online. The instructions that you see on the pages within our site are coming direct from your card issuing bank (eg, Halifax, Barclays, Sainsbury's) and any information that you submit on these authentication screens are securely passed to your card issuing bank, no information will be captured, stored or viewed on any Winparts system. Screens are securely passed to your card issuing bank, no information will be captured, stored or viewed on any Winparts system.
