Data Security

All transaction information is encrypted using 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted. We use SSL encription to protect your personal information online and restrict access in our own premises.Your transaction information and customer card information is secure even from our own employees because our systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens. We do not store any credit card details in our system and if you purchase more than once you will need to enter the details again.We rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware. We believe that their security is adequate. Whilst we use industry standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline.
