We endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information. All the data collected by us is stored on a secure server. The secure server software encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us.

Is it safe to give my credit card details over the internet? 
Any information sent to us is encrypted (scrambled) while being sent over the Internet. When it reaches us we then unencrypted the content so that it can only be read by our authorised personnel. This makes it near impossible for anyone to intercept your details. We use the same kind of encryption (SSL) as many leading banks and other financial organisations.
