We take your online security very seriously. Please see below for details of how we protect the information you provide us.
We do not hold any of your credit card information. This information is securely collected by our online authorised payment processor . With the industry's most-advanced encryption, fraud prevention and protection policies, Our Payment Gateway Provider is dedicated to keeping your account safe and secure. Payment Gateway Provider automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to thiers using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to the site, our server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Once your information reaches our Payment Gateway Provider, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Payment Gateway Provider servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers. When the letters "http" in the URL (address bar) change to "http", the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL. Information passed between your computer and the payment web site cannot be read in the event someone else intercepts it. This technology includes the following features:
* Authentication - this assures your browser that your data is being sent to the correct computer server, and that the server is secure.
* Encryption - this encodes the data, so that is cannot be read by anyone other that the secure server.
* Data Integrity - this checks the data being transferred to ensure it has not been altered.
To check the security of the website, simply look in the lower bar of your browser when you fill in your payment details. You will see an unbroken key or closed lock, showing that encryption is active and your information is secure. For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not send credit card numbers by standard email.
We guarantee to comply with the standards, procedures and requirements laid down in the UK Data Protection Acts 1984 and 1998, to ensure that your personal information is kept secure and processed fairly and lawfully.
