    Security Policy


Security is incredibly tight at 2U YOUR DETAILS ARE SECURE.
The security of 2U.co.uk is incredibly tight. In fact, it is state of the art and at the maximum possible security levels with today's technology.

On all secure pages you will always see this small padlock symbol ... Security is incredibly tight at 2U

As you consider the security of 2U below, remember 2 things ...

  1. The parent company of 2U, Mobile Phone World Ltd, has been trading for over 10 years. This is only due to sound business practices, of which tight security is one.

  2. In the event of a fraudulent transaction, it is usually the retailer (i.e. 2U) who loses out, not you, the customer. The reason for this is because the cardholder will invariably be given back their money once the transaction is reported as fraudulent. This means the money is taken back from the retailer, even if this is after they have sent the product to the fraudster. This would obviously cost the retailer. For this reason we make sure our security is exellent.

To avoid this, 2U.co.uk has the following security measures in place.

  • SSL - Secure Socket Layer server. This means that your details are fully encrypted to protect them.

  • GeoTrust & Equifax security certificate. GeoTrust & Equifax is a huge, internationally recognised security kite mark, to show that the security of 2U is the best it can be. The 2U.co.uk uses 256 bit encryption.

     

  • Integrated password protected database. All personal information we hold on you is stored in secure password protected databases, that only high-level staff members have access to (we do not hold card details). These passwords are changed regularly.

  • Barclaycard ePDQ. 2U's parent company uses Barclays Bank's electronic payment system, and has for the past 7 years. 2U now uses Barclays Bank's ePDQ intenet payment system, because it offers maximum security both for 2U and for you the customer. Barclaycard ePDQ uses its own SSL, which means 2U never holds your payment card details. This is only held by Barclays, who have a high reputation for security. The ePDQ system has great security because of the credit checking it offers. It checks the card for 3 'green-lights', and only then is your card debited. The 3 'green-lights' are

    • The card is authorised to take payment (ie. not reported lost or stolen, there is money on the account)

    • The CVV2 number on the reverse of the card is correct

    • The cardholders address is correct as given.

    If your card is being used fraudulently, and these 'green-lights are not triggered, the transaction will fail, which protects you from someone else using your card fraudulently. The address checking particularly offers you great security against anyone using your card fraudulently - they would not know your address. PLUS, 2U will only deliver to the registered cardholders address, so you would still recieve the goods! In the incredibly unlikely event of this happening, you would simply return the goods for a full refund.

     

  • 2U's parent company, Mobile Phone World Ltd is a member of the mobile phone industry group, IDG, The Independent Dealers Group, which is a part of the FCS, The Federation of Communication Services

     

As you can see, 2U is covered by a formidable security system and security policy. You can purchase in peace, safe in the knowledge that your personal and financial details are safe and secure.
