Safe Shopping
At Lucan Pharmacy, we understand that our customers are concerned about the security of their debit and credit card details. We take significant steps to protect all your information, and especially your payment details, using cutting-edge security technology.
When customers create an account, the data (including password) pass over secure connection (https) as opposed to normal http transport mode.
over and above what our company does to protect your privacy and security, we would advise you to adopt the following additional measures:
- Choose a password you can remember, but others cannot guess
- Change your password regularly. If you write it down, keep it somewhere safe and secure.
- Do not activate autocomplete (Internet Explorer) or any other similar feature.
- Do not allow your internet browser to "remember" passwords.
- When you have finished your session on our website, we recommend that you close your browser, so any history of the session is cleared.
- Clear any "cache" so there is no record of any transaction left on the screen - all major web browsers let you do this.
We employ specialists from industry leaders to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or alteration. We will never store your credit/debit card information on our website. Lucan Pharmacy is Fully PCI Compliant and adheres to strict security standard laid out by Visa, MasterCard and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Lucan Pharmacy also gives you the option to pay securely via PayPal. More information about PayPal can be found here.
www.lucanpharmacy.com is tested and certified daily to pass the "Norton Secure" Security Scan. To help address concerns about possible hacker access to your confidential data, and the safety of visiting this site, the "live" Norton Secure mark appears only when this site passes the daily Norton Secure tests.
We may require, for certain tranactions, that credit card authorization is protected with the Verified by Visa/MasterCard SecureCode authentication schemes. This ensures that the person using a credit card actually is the person he claims to be. This protects you from having your credit card misused at our web shop and protects us from fraudulent transactions.
