This web server benefits from a function of online ordering by bank card, with safe payment protected by the most widespread protocol on the web in this area : SSL (Secure Socket Layer).

That means, at the time of payment of your order, the exchanges of data between your navigator and the payment server are encrypted and can only be interpreted by these two networks. This is due to an exchange system of encryption/decryption keys for the length of the connection.

If your navigator has standard parameters, an alert tells you that you are going into a mode of secure data exchange at the time of clicking on the button "safe payment" (and conversely, returning to the online shop after payment).

Also, during the secure connection with the payment terminal, your navigator displays an icon showing data exchange encryption in its status bar (at the bottom of your screen) : depending on the navigators and their versions, it’s a bolted padlock or key. Likewise, you can check that the address bar states "httpS" and no longer "http", the "S" testifying to security.

For this running of safe payment, the Top Saddlery site leans on the services of a specialist provider, who is referred to in this area on the internet market in France : Paybox Services (www.paybox.com).

In this way, the characteristics of your bank card are totally unknown to Top Saddlery.
