Protection of Personal Data

We have taken every possible precaution to create a secure environment to protect the personal information supplied by you to us when making an order. When an order is placed, we offer the use of a secure service. Essentially, we have adopted the industry standard encryption methods in that the secure service software (SSL) encrypts all information input before it is sent to us. In order to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and for maximum peace of mind, we can advise that we have implemented strict security procedures in relation to the storage and disclosure of information which you have given to us for the purpose of preventing unauthorized access. For security reasons and to protect your right to privacy, we may occasionally request proof of identity from you before disclosing any sensitive information to you or accepting any order from you.
