| Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the
best software available today for secure online commerce transactions. It encrypts
all of your credit/debit card details so that they cannot be read as the information
travels over the internet. Most web browsers display a small padlock symbol at
the bottom of the 'Payment Information' page to reassure you that all transmission
is secure.
Furthermore, as required by the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998, we
follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information
which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access.
Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity
before we are able to disclose sensitive information to you.
Female Customers
For added security it is recommended that you only enter your initial instead
of your full first name when registering for a new account. This will help to
keep your gender private.
Online Credit/Debit Card Payments
All online transactions are processed by Worldpay, who are part of the Royal
Bank of Scotland Group.
As from 23/11/04 we will also facilitate MasterCard SecureCode and Verified
by Visa. |
