Security

We will process your personal data confidentially and maintain the mandatory duty to secrecy with regards to data, in accordance with the GDPR. Our website ensures that data is encrypted when leaving the site. This process involves the converting of information or data into a code to prevent unauthorised access or interception. Our site employs secure methods to ensure the protection of all credit and debit card transactions. Encryption methods such as SSL are utilised to protect customer data when in transit to and from our site over a secure communications channel.
