Security Policy:
Your security is one of our highest priorities. We have taken every possible measure to give absolute security to our customers in their dealings with us. Information on this website is protected by state-of-the-art encryption and firewall technology. This provides a safe, sound and secure transaction environment for commerce on the Internet.
Information submitted to private areas of our website is secured using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. SSL technology locks information passed from you to this website in an encrypted envelope. This makes it almost impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorised party, as long as your web browser and local network support the use of encrypted data transmissions. SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-commerce sites.
During checkout our servers and your computer encrypt (scramble) everything that you enter into your computer, such as credit card and address details. As data is encrypted, other computers are unable to make sense of it, therefore keeping this information private.
This store uses PayPal for payments, and PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available).
