We are committed to ensuring that as far as reasonably possible your information is secure.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our Site. Any such transmission is at your own risk.
We have implemented appropriate physical, technical and organisational measures designed to secure your information against accidental loss and unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure.

Credit Card Security
All credit/debit card payments for goods or services from our Site are made through independent third party payment processing gateways who use industry standard encryption technology. As the payment is completely handled by third party payment processors, we do not handle, or have access to, your credit/debit card information and therefore it is never stored on our systems at any point.
