Protecting Customers

While placing your order with us online, the information you give us is automatically transferred with ‘SSL encryption’. Using SSL technology enables us to conduct transactions for you in a safe and secure way. SSL encrypts and protects critically sensitive information sent between customer and retailer. This information may include things like your name, address, telephone number and credit card details. The SSL encryption uses complicated algorithms to ensure your information cannot be read by anyone while being transmitted and also ensures it is being sent to the correct and secure server. Whilst doing this, SSL also verifies the personal information has not been changed, tampered with or redirected in any way.

When you enter a secure area of our site, you should be able to find a small padlock icon at the bottom of the screen. If you’d like to make absolutely sure that a page is secure at any given time, you can check by right clicking on the page and selecting 'properties' or 'view frame info' which will verify this for you.

Another way of checking whether a website is secure is by making note of the web page address. A standard page will begin with 'http://'. A secure web page will begin with 'https://' which shows that the merchandiser is using a secure server for your transaction.
