Security

We take security very seriously at Trade Radiators. Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the shopper and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality, an online transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone, as the information transmitted online is strongly encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations.

We use Paypal, a trusted and well recognised online payment processor, for our online credit card transactions. Paypal uses a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data, protecting both the retailers and their shoppers.

PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with more than 164 million accounts worldwide. Available in 190 markets and 17 currencies around the world, PayPal enables global ecommerce by making payments possible across different locations, currencies, and languages.

PayPal has received more than 20 awards for excellence from the internet industry and the business community - most recently the 2006 Webby Award for Best Financial Services Site and the 2006 Webby People's Voice Award for Best Financial Services Site.

PayPal was founded in 1998 and was acquired by eBay in 2002.

All communication between the shopper and Paypal is encrypted to the maximum strength using SSL security. All communication between the retailer and PayPal, including the details of the purchase, are encapsulated using an encrypted and digitally-signed protocol; this uses a combination of standard methods such as PGP, RSA and MD5 to ensure that the information passed is secure and tamper-proof.
