Privacy and security

Credit Card Security
 
We take security very seriously which is why we have chosen to use online credit card processing facilities provided by Barclaycard. Your online purchase will take place in real time, and we will never see your credit card details. You can have confidence that our online purchasing facilities are secure and safe to use.
