How we value your security

We use secure socket layer (SSL) software which is the industry standard for secure e-commerce transactions. It encrypts all your personal information including credit card number and all your personal details, so it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.

You can check in two ways to determine if your connection to our web site is secured & encrypted with SSL:

• The web site address(URL) prefix changes from "http:" to "https:". (See diagram)
  
  
• A padlock icon will appear at the top or bottom of your web browser window. (See diagram)
  

What pages do we secure:

• The Log In(Sign In) page where you enter your personal details to create an account or where you enter your log in details if you are a returning customer.
  
  
• All of the Checkout pages where you enter personal & confidential information.

How we store your information collected via our web site:

• All your personal details are stored in an encrypted database on our server.
• All of our access to that information is also secured using SSL secured communication.
• Your Credit Card details are only stored until your payment has been successfully completed.
• Additionally your Credit Card details are broken up and stored in two locations. Partial details are stored in our encrypted database on our server. The remaining details are stored securely on a local server. Your complete Credit Card details are never stored in their entirety in a single location.
