Shopping with Tooled-Up.com is safe. Here is how we protect your payment and your account.


    
        ## At a glance

        
            PaymentsBraintreeCard payments are handled by Braintree, a PayPal company. Your full card number goes into Braintree's secure payment form - we never store it.
            Extra checks3D SecureYour bank may ask you to confirm a card payment, for example with a code or in your banking app.
            ConnectionEncryptedOur website only uses a secure, encrypted (HTTPS) connection - a plain "http" address is automatically switched to it.
        
    

    
        ## Paying

        
            
                ### Ways to pay

                
                    - Credit and debit cards

                    - PayPal

                    - Apple Pay and Google Pay, on devices that support them

                

The options you see at checkout depend on your order. With PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay your full card number is never shared with us.

            
            
                ### Saved cards


If you choose to save a card for next time, the card is stored securely by Braintree, not on our systems - we keep only details such as the last four digits so you can recognise it. When you pay with a saved card your bank may still ask you to confirm the payment.

            
        
    

    
        ## Your account

        
            
                ### Protected sign-in


After five wrong passwords in a row, an account is locked for five minutes to stop anyone guessing it. Many of our forms also use a security check to keep automated attacks out.

            
            
                ### Staying safe

                
                    - Use a password you do not use anywhere else.

                    - Check the address bar shows Tooled-Up.com before you sign in or pay.

                    - If anything about an order or a message looks wrong, [contact us](/help/contact/) or call 020 8805 3535.
