We understand how important it is to store any information that you give us securely and to provide you with a safe shopping environment. We achieve this by:-

• using Barclaycard Merchant Services' ePDQ service, a secure online service for card payment authorisation and settlement. ePDQ processes your payment by communicating directly with you - payment details are neither processed through nor stored on our website
• using 128-bit SSL encryption technology, the same high standard as Internet banking, to process card transactions. Payment details are captured within the secure ePDQ infrastructure and therefore both we as the merchant and you as customers can have confidence in the security of ePDQ's transaction processing.
• making use of the "Verified by Visa" and "Mastercard SecureCode" internet authentication services. These free services allow you, once you have registered, to confirm your identity when making a payment online by entering a password. You can find out more about these services by clicking on the logos at the top of the page
