Security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your quotation reference codes or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant that it will be at all times secure from unauthorised use and you transmit to us at your own risk.You can be assured that we have taken the necessary steps to protect your information by using some of the latest technologies available. This enables you to transact with us on line in confidence.
We offer current industry standard security measures on our website through your browser called SSL encryption.
Providing you with a secure online experience is a high priority for us. We recognise that your privacy and security are of the utmost importance, and we have devoted a great deal of effort to ensuring that your personal information is safeguarded.
What is Data Encryption?
To help protect your credit card number and personal information, we encrypt every transaction. Encryption is a process by which we use software to scramble your credit card number and personal information in transit to us. If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or greater), the information you send us regarding your purchase is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted. We use standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of: potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and critically sensitive information like your credit card number.(About SSL Certificates)
Browser Security Signals Check the settings of your browser security features to see all the checks that are possible and those that are currently in place.The presence of security measures surrounding the entry of data on a web page is identified in several ways for you on your browser:
* the URL identifying the page will always begin with "https://" versus the normal "http://".
* a security symbol to indicate operation in a mode that supports secure transmissions
* A "closed lock" icon is present in the bottom right-hand corner of your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser screen
* An "unbroken key" icon appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Netscape Navigator browser screen
Positive Identification Our site is registered with site identification authorities to enable your browser to confirm the identity of the site before any transmission is sent. With this technology, the identity of our site is automatically confirmed behind the scenes prior to the transmission of any customer information requested to complete an online transaction. Your data reaches your intended target or your browser notifies you (prior to your sending any personal information) that the potential receiving site looks suspicious and should be avoided.
