Many Internet users are concerned about security on the web - below are answers to few questions we are commonly asked:

Who are WorldPay? – perfumeireland.com has chosen WorldPay as a partner for its secure server software. They are a leading payment system provider to online businesses. For further information about WorldPay please visit their web site at www.worldpay.com

Is shopping with perfumeireland.com safe? - Communication between you, us and WorldPay is encrypted using the SSL mechanism built into your browser. This ensures that even if someone were able to monitor the traffic between you and the WorldPay payment server, they would not be able to read it. Encryption is used on all pages within the buying process, making shopping on perfumeireland.com as safe as possible

How do we protect the Buyers Data? - The WorldPay software sits behind a corporate firewall. Access to this machine is strictly controlled, preventing unauthorized access to your personal data. Once you have passed your Credit Card details to perfumeireland.com , they are stored on the WorldPay server in an encrypted format.

Do you check for fraudulent cards? - When we receive your Credit Card details, an on-line check of your Credit Card is conducted with their Acquiring bankers. This process ensures the number you entered actually corresponds to a real credit card number and is not a bogus card. The WorldPay system also checks various "Hot Card lists" to ensure that no fraudulent use is being made of any Credit Card. This on-line verification of your details is carried out over a secure line to the bank. Credit Card data is, at no time, sent over the Internet during the validation process.

What is the Card Security Code? - This is a special 3 digit number that appears on the far right side of the signature strip on your card. This number is unique to each card, and gives you extra protection against fraud.
