Your security & privacy
Online security and privacy are crucial. We have made every effort to ensure that, when you shop at software.co.uk, your transaction is safe and your data is protected.
- Transactions are encrypted and securely transmitted
- VeriSign Secured
- We do not see or store your card details
- We will never share your data with a third party
Transactions encrypted and securely transmitted
Any checkout details you provide are encrypted (128 byte on modern browsers, 40 byte on some old ones) and transmitted using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). These measures protect against eavesdropping.
Verisign secured
You can check the status of this protection by clicking the Verisign logo. Our servers are housed in a secure location with physical access limited to vetted personnel and strictly enforced by electronic access cards, biometric scanning, and guards. Our servers are also protected by a hardware firewall and managed security auditing and scanning according to industry standard practices.
We never see or store your card details
No security system is 100% impenetrable but, with the measures we've taken, we believe that we've reduced risks to below those we accept every day in face-to-face cash or card transactions. Having said that, as a final precaution we never see or store your card details. Even if our defenses were defeated, the most that could possibly be revealed are your address details and order history.
We will never share your data with a third party
We are committed to protecting your privacy and protect your details as if they were our own.
We collect information about you for 2 reasons: firstly, to process your order and second, to provide you with the best possible service. Except for the explicit purpose of completing your order, we will not pass on your details to any other organization unless we are required to do so by law.
We endeavour to keep the information we hold accurate and up to date. You can check the information that we hold about you by emailing us. If you find any inaccuracies we will correct it promptly. The personal information which we hold will be held securely in accordance with our internal security policy and the law. Your information may be stored on our systems in both the USA and the European Economic Area.
