Website Security
Website Security at Budget Loans UK
At Budget Loans UK, we take your online security very seriously. Your personal and financial information is valuable, and we ensure it is protected with industry-leading technology. That’s why we use SSL encryption to safeguard the data you enter into our loan application forms and other sensitive areas of our website.
Why is SSL Encryption Important?
When you browse our website, look for the “https://” in the URL, indicating a secure connection. The ‘s’ stands for “secure”, meaning that the data exchanged between your browser and our server is encrypted and protected from potential interception.
How to Recognize a Secure Connection
Each web browser has its own way of showing that a site is secure. Here’s what to look for:
Internet Explorer (IE): A gold padlock icon in the address bar.
Firefox: A blue or green bar with a small padlock in the address bar.
Safari: A small padlock symbol in the address bar.
Google Chrome: A green padlock in the address bar.
If you see any of these indicators, you can be confident that your data is secure.
What Does SSL Encryption Mean for You?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a data encryption process that ensures any information you send to us, such as your personal details or loan application, is encrypted and transmitted securely. With SSL encryption, your information can only be read by Budget Loans UK—not by anyone intercepting the connection.
To ensure that your data is properly protected, we use a valid SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt, a trusted and open-source security certificate provider.
How SSL Works to Protect Your Data
When you connect to our website, your browser checks the SSL certificate to verify the authenticity of our site. Here’s how the process works:
Certificate Validation: Your browser checks to make sure you’re connecting to the real Budget Loans UK site, not a fraudulent one.
Encryption Negotiation: Your browser and our server agree on the encryption type to be used during communication.
Data Encryption: A unique encryption key is exchanged, ensuring that the information you submit is scrambled and unreadable to anyone but us.
Secure Connection Established: Once the connection is encrypted, your browser shows the Encrypted Icon, confirming that your data is safe and secure.
