Secure Site

We are a secure site
We recognise the importance of security regarding the information you send us over the internet.
We take all the necessary precautions to protect our customers’ personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted to us online (such as credit card numbers) is encrypted and transmitted to us securely.
You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for a “locked padlock” icon (Internet Explorer and Firefox) in the grey bar at the bottom of your screen. This will appear on any page where you will be required to enter personal information (such as your credit card details). No other page will transmit information about you.
Access to all of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted and the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are stored in a secure environment.
 
Shopping securely with us
We recognise that security of communications and transactions over the internet is of the utmost importance to you. We take all necessary precautions to protect your personal information and store it securely.
To protect your personal information we utilise the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt all your personal information including debit or credit card numbers, name and address. The encryption process takes the characters you enter and converts them into bits of code that are then securely transmitted over the internet.
In order to help safeguard unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, we check the security code located above the magnetic strip on the back of your card and also the address provided on the order with the address set against the card.
 
Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™
At the point in the order process where you enter your card details, our e-commerce system will request confirmation that the details provided are correct as explained in the sections above.
 
Most banks now include the Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™ virtual ‘card present’ environment. These are additional security systems which may appear as part of the final stages of the ordering phase.
 
Should your bank use one of the above systems you will be prompted to enter a password or code in order to proceed. The web page which prompts for this information is provided by your bank where you use a Visa or Mastercard® credit or debit card. The information transmitted from this page is between you and your bank and is in no way used or processed by us. As soon as the card/password is verified you will be returned to our website to complete your order.
 
At the point at which this page displays, one of two things will happen. You will be prompted to enrol in the respective cards scheme, where you have not already done so (you will be prompted to enrol in the respective cards scheme, where you have not already done so (you will be prompted to create a password or code as part of the enrolment process), alternatively you will be prompted for your password if already enrolled.
