Your Credit Card Details are Safe With Us

Many people are concerned about shopping on the internet, and due to media hype have been persuaded not to buy online with a credit card unless the little "padlock" or "key" icon is shown in the bottom corner of the screen. This only appears when the web site uses a system known as "Secure Socket Layer", or "SSL".

Our system of encryption using Java is even more secure than SSL but does not show the little padlock symbol on your browser frame. Please do not let this put you off!

Our store uses 128-bit encryption to safely encrypt credit card information. This is virtually unbreakable and it means that your credit card information cannot be read by anyone other than yourselves and ourselves. We can then process the credit card numbers in the normal way.

Our 128-bit security encryption is the leading state-of-the-art system to prevent credit card fraud on the internet. We know of no documented cases of credit card fraud using our system over the Internet. All credit card numbers are encrypted in the software when the order is placed using 128-bit encryption, and are only decrypted after they reach our computer which has the necessary unique security codes. They are not held in clear text on any web site, unlike with SSL.
