Buying online, are my details safe?

The security of your personal and financial details is of paramount importance to us and as such we use one of the strongest available security systems to protect your communications with us.

How we protect your data!

Whenever you fill in an online form, such as a request for a quote, it is automatically protected using something called a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) between your computer and ours. SSL works in the following ways:

SSL Prevents Impersonation!

You can tell that you are using a genuine SSL site by the padlock symbol at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on either the padlock or the image below will reveal our Registration Certificate that is issued by Digi Sign Limited, a leading Internet security company.

SSL Encrypts Data!

As soon as your computer has recognised our computer they encrypt all information that is passed between them. Data encryption means that no one else can read or change your information as it travels over the Internet.

SSL Prevents Scrambling!

SSL uses a Message Authentication Code (MAC) to prevent anyone tampering with our Internet site. Your computer will always check this code before it takes a message from us. This means that if anyone tried to interfere with a message, your computer would not recognise the code and would alert you.
