HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The security of your personal and financial details is of paramount importance to us and as such, we use the strongest available security systems to protect your personal information

To protect your personal information this site uses 128-bit encryption that utilises Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. This offers the highest level of security available on the Internet.

All personal information, such as names, addresses and credit card details are sent to us over a secure link, which encrypts the data whilst passing it over the internet.

When you fill in any personal information or payment details, you will be in a secure area of the site. You can check this by looking for a padlock in the bottom corner of your web browser and that the web address starts with &https://& (the letter 's' stands for secure). When you send your information over the web, it will be encrypted to protect anyone from reading it.

In some instances the web page may not display https:// or a padlock. It's still possible to confirm the security settings on these pages by right-clicking on the page and selecting 'properties'. If the page is secure the address line will begin 'https://'.

All the information that we hold about you is protected by firewalls and a wide range of IT security measures.
