We understand that you may be concerned about the security and privacy of online transactions and we hope this page will provide reassurance that your valuable data is protected from prying eyes.
We use the following systems to help ensure your security is protected when you purchase goods online using your debit/credit card.
Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode and American Express SafeKey are simple password-protected identity checking services that improve security for our customers shopping online.
These services add an extra step into the online checkout procedure and are designed to stop unauthorised purchases, making shopping online even more secure.
Most banks or organisations will register you for the corresponding service by default or you can also choose to sign up if that’s not the case. Then, whenever you buy something from Halfords, your bank may ask you to verify your identify with a one-time passcode or other ID check before you can complete the transaction.
We employ data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions on our site. Our payment area is secured using 128-bit encryption across a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
An SSL is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. It means that all of your personal information credit card details, name and address are encoded when it’s sent to us and no one can read it as it travels over the internet.
This system is used by websites worldwide to secure internet transactions between the server and the customer, and ensures that all data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure.
In order to be able to generate an SSL link (signified by the gold padlock in the information tool bar), a web server requires an SSL certificate.
