Security Information
feel comfortable when you buy on-line
Most of us feel comfortable about giving our credit or debit card
details to a shop assistant or waiter or even over the ‘phone -
even though there’s an inherent risk and we are trusting someone
we may not know. Using your card over the internet can actually
offer some security advantages compared with these “real world”
situations.
On-line security means that:
- information or data supplied by you cannot be viewed, even if
it is intercepted
- the information you receive or provide cannot be altered
- the company who owns & operates the website is who it says
it is
security on this site
Whenever we ask you for personal information, we do so within a
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) - an industry-standard security technology
which encrypts details sent between your PC and our website. SSL
protects information over the internet and ensures it cannot be
tampered with. To benefit from this technology you need an SSL-capable
browser like Netscape Navigator 4.06 or higher or Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.01 or higher. These browsers will activate SSL automatically.
We recommend that you do not send us personal details via email;
whilst the vast majority of emails are not intercepted, there is
a risk that your data could be visible to third parties.
we are who we say we are
You can’t see the people or company you are dealing with online
- as you can when you visit a shop or office. An SSL digital certificate
allows you to authenticate the website and confirm its ownership.
If a web site has a valid digital certificate, as this web site
does, you can check it and verify the:
- domain for which the certificate was issued
- owner (who is also the organisation with the right to use the
domain) and their physical location
- period during which the certificate is valid
Agents, affiliates and service providers
Companies that supply support services or act as our agents or affiliates
must conform to our security principles and have a similar level
of security.
