Safe shopping online
Security guarantee
Our website uses a secure server which uses SSL technology (secure sockets layer) to make sure that all your credit or debit card transactions are completely secure.
Every time we receive an order, we use fraud checking systems as well as authentication processes before we fulfil it.
When you use our website, the secure server will encrypt all of the personal information you send us, including credit or debit card number and name and address. Encryption turns the information you enter into bits of code which are then securely transmitted to us over the Internet.
We will take all reasonable measures to keep your personal information, order and payment details secure. However, we cannot be held liable if an event beyond our control results in loss to you.
Payment card security
At Ernest Jones we are committed to protecting you against unauthorised transactions and ensuring that our payment process is as safe and secure as possible. As well as our SSL technology (mentioned above), we have implemented extra levels of security to protect your online transactions.
Security Code
We will ask for your security code when you enter your card details. This is the last three digits on the signature strip on the back of your credit or Maestro card. American Express card holders, this is the four digit number found on the front of the card. It guarantees that you physically have the card when you order and ensures that fraudulent orders cannot be placed with your card number alone.
Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCodeTM
When you are entering your payment details on our website, a box will pop up giving you the option to register with either Verified by Visa (for Visa cards) or MasterCard® SecureCodeTM (for MasterCard and Maestro cards), or to sign into them if you have already registered.
MasterCard® SecureCodeTM and Verified by Visa work in the same way. Both systems protect your existing credit card with a secret password that you create. Your password is registered with your card-issuing bank and from then on you can use the same password whenever you use that card to pay for goods at ernestjones.co.uk or with any other websites that use this technology.
Retail Decisions' (ReD) ebitGuard technology
ReD's ebitGuard technology is designed to detect card fraud, particularly international fraud, in an online environment.
By using this technology, Ernest Jones can check purchaser information against multiple public records for accuracy and consistency, identify computer-generated fraud that is not always picked up by other standard systems, screen fraud databases and much more.
