Website Security from Handlestore.com

We take website security very seriously and you should always feel confident to transact with us through our website. If you don't then tell us why! We have been online since 2004 and are learning all the time.

The identity of www.handlestore.com is verified by Cloudflare Inc, a trusted certificate authority. Test our validation at SSL Shopper.

When you are inserting personal information like name and address into our website you will see a padlock in the browser field and this can be clicked to verify that the page and information is encrypted. The url will show as https where the 's' stands for secure. Other areas of the website such as account details will also be covered by https. When you connect to our 3rd party payment website the browser url will turn green meaning a very high level of encryption is present (the padlock is also shown).

Keeping ahead of fraudsters is a major task for online traders and without the product development and protection provided by 3rd party credit card providers, banks and payment processors the task could be insurmountable. That is why HandleStore Ltd have looked carefully at what our service providers can provide and what our role should be within that.

Card payment processing is a job for the professionals so all our transactions are carried out on the card processors secure server not on our website. Handlestore Ltd uses Opayo (formerly Sagepay) to carry out all its online transactions involving cards and they are PCI Level 1 standard. Handlestore Ltd do not store or see any credit card details from online transactions, and we no longer take telephone orders therby negating any internal risks associated with data.

When you have entered your contact details within the secure area of our website you will then be sent to Opayo/Sagepay's secure payment website, which is protected by a 128-bit SSL certificate. This information is fully encrypted. Once within Opayo's payment system all sensitive data is secured using 256-bit encryption (the standards of security are the same as those used by the US government).

You can find an up-to-date certificate for Opayo PCI Compliance.
