This information is used to obtain payment for goods and services you have ordered from us. This information is taken through a page certified as secure by Verisign. You will note that this page has a web address starting “https”, not “http”. The additional “s” denotes its secure status. Such information is automatically encrypted as soon as you confirm it and passes in encrypted form to our contracted merchant service provider HSBC Bank PLC, who automatically arranges the transfer from your bank account to ours. We store the encrypted version on our servers, to save you having to re-enter it when you buy from us again, after when it is automatically deleted. The encrypted information is retained for a period of 12 months, when it is automatically deleted.
Note: your Internet browser may produce a warning message. This is automatic and does not reflect on the high level of security built into our system.

6 Disclosure to Government and their agencies.

Our Commitment To The Security of Your Data.
Your security is of paramount importance to us. As such, we constantly endeavour to take all possible precautions thus ensuring that your privacy and confidentiality are protected.
We understand that all users of our site are quite rightly concerned to know that their data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them, and will not fall into the hands of a third party. Our policy is both specific and strict. If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or that we are failing to abide by our policy, do please tell us.
We are constantly vigilant for credit card or other fraud. We report all charge backs to a credit reference agency. If you have any reason to seek the return of money paid, please contact us rather than your credit card issuer.
Information may be unlawfully available to hackers and snoopers. We take no responsibility for this. The risk is no different from a similar risk in a bricks and mortar establishment. Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any personally identifiable information collected at this site. If this policy should change in the future (most unlikely), then we shall provide notification in advance, and the opportunity for all users to indicate whether or not they would prefer that we do not provide the information to third parties as proposed.
We do not market to children. You must be over the age of 18 to purchase from our web site.
