Privacy and security

Credit card security

Our website uses Worldpay to process payments which is a worldwide e-commerce businesses allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet enabling you to shop without sharing financial information with the company you are buying from.

Once you have been through our checkout process and provided your name and address and contact details so that we can process your order, you will arrive at the Worldpay page and thereafter the information you enter is known only to the Worldpay encrypted system.

Your privacy is safeguarded with their data encryption which works seamlessly with your credit/debit card and current account. They state that your personal information is stored on their servers and heavily guarded, both physically and electronically.

To further shield your credit card and bank numbers, they do not directly connect their firewall-protected servers to the internet. Please go to www.worldpay.com for further details about their security measures.

When you place an order on our website, none of your financial details will be known by us, they will only be known by Worldpay's encrypted system as described above. As you go through our checkout you are only required to enter your name and address details, no financial details whatsoever.

In addition, when you order with us over the phone, we do not record, write down, store or share your financial details.

Secure checkout

Our web server uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL creates a secure 'layer' between your browser program and your Internet connection.

When you reach the checkout page on our site you can see a small padlock in your browser's window or to the right of the address bar (where your current web address is displayed). By clicking on this padlock you can see our digital certificate information guaranteeing the identity of the page.

SSL also encrypts data and verifies that it was not altered between your computer and our server.

The SSL security is protecting your name and address details that you give us in order to send your goods, remember, when you use our website we will not see or know your card or payment details.

Our version of this SSL was not affected or vulnerable to the Heartbleed security threat which came to light in the media in April 2014.
