When taking credit card details online we use 128-bit SSL Secure Sockets Layer to keep your information safe. SSL is the industry standard internet security protocol designed to allow the transmission of sensitive private information across the internet completely securely. It does this by encrypting the information at the computer where the information is entered the customer's computer and only decrypting it again at the server end our computers. In this way you can be sure that the information you enter will remain unread by anyone in the middle, even in the extremely unlikely event they were able to intercept it in its encrypted form.
