How secure is information about me?
Whilst we make every effort to keep the information that you supply secure, please be aware that the internet is not a fully secure medium. We use secure servers for sensitive information such as credit card numbers and personal information.
Our secure-server software uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to encrypt all your personal information including credit or debit card numbers, name and address so that no one else can read your information. The encryption process takes the characters you enter and converts them into bits of code that are then securely transmitted over the internet. Our 3rd party payment processor may transmit your entire card number to the appropriate credit card issuer during payment processing, but this is encrypted and cannot be read or used by any other party.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
It is important that you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.
