Credit card and financial information storage

Data storage on our systemsis regularly audited by the banking authorities to ensure a secure transaction environment. We also ensure that we stay up-to-date with the latest versions of any third-party code we use, and continually review our own proprietary code. We are also fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

IP address

We collect "non-personal" information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous web site you visited, your ISP, operating system, and your IP address. "Non-personal" information cannot be easily used to personally identify you. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. Your IP address also may be used to recognise customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information aids us in merchandising and in developing the design and layout of the site.
