| Our security and privacy policy is outlined below.
Store Security
We recognise the importance of privacy and security regarding the
information you send us over the Internet. Store security is one
of our highest priorities and we have devoted a great deal of effort
to ensure that our online security measures help to safeguard your
information.
We do not store your credit card details; these are held only by
the bank for audit trail purposes (so that you can be refunded if
necessary, for example), and to ensure security the bank will not
hold your personal details.
If you choose to pay for your goods using a credit card, the payment
will be processed by Worldpay. WorldPay is one of the longest established
companies in eCommerce world wide today. Established in 1993 they
have one of the largest client bases and every week they enable
hundreds of companies to establish their ebusiness. Their clients
include many household names as well as thousands of smaller businesses.
If you are still uncomfortable with submitting your personal information
via the Internet for any reason, please feel free to contact us
via the phone or via fax to complete your order.
Privacy
We are also committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information
we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more relevant
flow of information to you on our services.
What information do you collect? How do you use it?
- when you order, we need to know your name, e-mail address, address,
credit or debit card number and the card's expiry date. This allows
us to process and fulfil your orders and to notify you of the
status of your order.
- we also ask for your telephone number which enables us to contact
you urgently if there is a problem with your booking.
- when you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may
ask for your name, address and e-mail address so we can administer
the contest and notify winners.
- we may also use the information we collect, including your booking
history, to notify you occasionally about important functionality
changes to the web site, new services and special offers we think
you'll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this information,
you may opt out by visiting “My settings” once you
have logged in to the site.
- We may use technology to track the patterns of behaviour of
visitors to our site. This can include using a "cookie"
which would be stored on your browser. You can usually modify
your browser to prevent this happening. The information collected
in this way can be used to identify you unless you modify your
browser settings. We also monitor aggregate customer traffic patterns
and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the
site.
How do you protect customer information?
As required by the UK Data Protection Legislation, we follow strict
security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information
which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access.
What about "cookies"?
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your
browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain
any personally identifying information, but they do help us identify
how you found out about any offers and promotions we are running.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
change your browser to prevent that. The information collected in
this way can be used to identify you unless you modify your browser
settings. Without a cookie, you can still use most of the features
in our store, however you must keep session cookies enabled to use
the more advanced features of the website.
Will you disclose the information you collect to outside
parties?
We will not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others.
We may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales,
traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party
vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying
information.
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions
on our behalf, including providing marketing assistance and processing
credit card payments. Such companies and individuals will have access
to personal information needed to perform these functions, but may
not use it for any other purposes, and are required to process the
data in accordance with the UK's Data Protection legislation.
Your consent

use of this information. If we decide to change our privacy policy,
we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware
