The website uses information security techniques that are generally accepted in the industry, such as firewalls, access control procedures and cryptographic mechanisms, all with the aim of preventing unauthorised access to data and its possible theft. To achieve this, the user/client agrees to allow the provider to obtain data for the necessary authentication of access controls.
We offer 100% secure payment
At www.uv.es/cdi we guarantee that each of the transactions carried out is 100% secure. All the purchases you make on our website are guaranteed by Banco Santander's secure server so that your data is protected and encrypted by the most advanced technology. In this way, it is much safer to send your data to the bank's secure server than to pay at a petrol station, restaurant, etc..
What happens when I send my data over the Internet?
When you make a purchase and choose the payment method, the website connects to the secure server as soon as you click on the card payment button. From that moment, you enter the secure area and enter your bank details in the bank's secure server, which ensures that the operation meets the required security requirements, and it is carried out. After this, confirmation of the operation appears and the buyer returns to the store.
Could anyone know the encryption key?
Every time a user connects to a secure server, it generates a random key for the session established with the user and the client's browser generates another equally random key to identify itself to the server. If other users connect to the server at the same time as a secure connection is established, other new keys are generated to identify the participants in the connection. The secure server ensures that the generated keys never match while establishing multiple simultaneous connections.
How do I know that the connection is really secure?
You can tell if you have connected to a secure server if the URL starts with "https: //". In addition, the most popular browsers indicate this with an icon that shows the user whether there is a secure connection or not.
What security protocol is used for transmissions?
For connections with the secure server, the latest standard Internet security protocol specifications are used: SSL..
Which financial institution guarantees the security of my transactions?
When you make a purchase with a debit or credit card on the UV Language Centre website, a connection is established with Banco Santander's secure server. This contributes all its experience and technological infrastructure to provide support in a secure and effective way for all online payment transactions made through generals.centreidiomes.es. When a payment request arrives at Banco Santander's secure server, it manages the authorisation or denial of the payment for the purchase in real time, after confirming that all the data needed to make the payment is correct.
3D Secure
Banco Santander’s gateway is compatible with the new online secure payment protocols introduced by Visa and Mastercard. 3D Secure is the safest credit card payment system because it is able to authenticate the cardholder, guaranteeing that the customer using a card number is actually the cardholder. This is done using a secret password that your bank will provide and that only you will know. In most cases, this password can be requested online. For more information, contact your bank or consult the website.
Extremely important
Our website only accepts credit card payments that are secured (3D Secure), so you will need a special password to make purchases online which must be provided by the financial institution issuing the card, specifying the need to have a 3D Secure virtual password. We recommend using the 3D Secure system because it ensures that only you can make purchases with the card, making it impossible to use it fraudulently online and guaranteeing the complete security of transactions.
How do we protect your credit card payment?
generals.centreidiomes.es uses a server based on one of the most reliable secure payment systems on the Internet: the SSL (Secure Socked Layer) security protocol. (For more information, visit www.ssl.com).
All your personal data and the information you send us travels over the Internet in encrypted form and is protected and encrypted before being sent for processing.
Only SET (Secure Electronic Transaction) transactions will be accepted for Visa and MasterCard payments. After verifying that the card uses the SET protocol, the system will contact the issuing bank for the buyer to authorise the purchase. When the bank confirms authenticity, the card will be charged. Otherwise, the order will be cancelled. The payment gateway that we use for your credit card payments is Banco Santander, which encrypts your data through the 256-bit SSL protocol. Our system does not store any of your credit card bank details and instead they go directly to the bank's Ecommerce POS (Point of Sale) Terminal.
What is SSL?
The latest advances in browser and server technology have made it easy to use web services without worrying about Internet fraud. An example of this is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), developed by Netscape, which is a security protocol submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an Internet draft. Basically, the protocol allows the browser and server in a web session to authenticate each other and protect the information that will subsequently flow between both points. Through the use of cryptographic techniques such as encryption and digital signatures, the protocol:
- Allows browsers and web servers to authenticate each other.
- Allows website owners to control access to particular servers, directories, files and services.
- Allows confidential information (such as credit card numbers) to be shared between the browser and the server, keeping it inaccessible to third parties.
- Ensures that the data exchanged between the browser and the server cannot be corrupted, either accidentally or deliberately, without it being detected.
