We employ data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions on our site. Our payment area is
secured
using 128-bit encryption across a Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL).
What is an SSL?
An SSL is the standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server
and a browser. It means that all of your personal information credit card details, name and
address are encoded when it’s sent to us and no one can read it as it travels over the internet.
This system is used by websites worldwide to secure internet transactions between the server and
the
customer, and ensures that all data passed between our web server and your browser remains
private and
secure.
In order to be able to generate an SSL link (signified by the gold padlock in the information
tool bar),
a web server requires an SSL certificate.
Extended Validation (EV) SSL
Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates provide the highest trust level and are the industry
standard
for business websites. The EV SSL validation process is the most extensive and rigorous in the
industry.
Our EV SSL certificates are provided by a world class certificate authority, Comodo. Comodo is Web Trust compliant,
meaning that the company’s business practices and processes have been rigorously audited to
American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) guidelines by an independent approved auditor
(KPMG).
Comodo provides High Assurance Certificates, which validate that a company is a legally
accountable
organisation with articles of incorporation and that the site has been verified as an
authenticated
business. To find out more about EV SSL or Comodo, please visit www.comodogroup.com.
