Data We Collect Via the Site
We do not collect any data from you via this website.
Site Security – How We Aim to Protect Your Data
We use Internet standard encryption technology (“SSL” or “Secure Socket Layer” technology) to encode personal data that you send to us when placing an order through the Website. To check that you are in a secure area of the Website before sending personal data to us, please look at the relevant area of your preferred website browser and check that it displays an image of a closed padlock or an unbroken key, or equivalent to signify a secure connection.
We also take measures to ensure our hosting server (based in the UK) is secure using website software that is compatible with the software of our server. Additionally, we conduct regular virus and malware scans to ensure the server is clear of any malicious software that could compromise the security of both our server and website. We scan the Site for these too.
Furthermore, we always ensure WordPress and the site plugins are kept up to date at all times to incorporate the latest vulnerability fixes.
Additionally, to help us in our site security we use the most popular WordPress firewall & security scanner: Wordfence. Wordfence includes an endpoint firewall and malware scanner that was built from the ground up to protect WordPress. Their Threat Defence Feed arms Wordfence with the newest firewall rules, malware signatures and malicious IP addresses it needs to keep a website safe. Rounded out by a suite of additional features, Wordfence is the most comprehensive WordPress security solution available. Find out more information about Wordfence here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/.
As part of its functions, Wordfence will occasionally transfer aggregated data to our servers for analysis when detecting spam, malware or attacks. This data can not be used to de-anonymize a site visitor or member.
However, please note that whilst we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal data that you provide to us, no transmission over the Internet can ever be guaranteed secure. Consequently, please note that we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data that you transfer over the Internet to us.
If you are using a computer or terminal in a public location, we recommend that you always log out and close the website browser when you complete an online session for your security.
Deleting Your Data
As we do not save or store any data there is no need to contact us to delete it.
