Privacy & Security

• Flowerssimply is a secure web site. Every time you enter an area of the site that has or requires sensitive information such as your credit card details, a padlock will appear to indicate that the site is secure. This can be verified by checking the properties of the page by right clicking on the page and selecting "Properties". This will verify that the page is securely hosted, uses encryption and has a valid security certificate.

• We do not store your payment details at all, digitally or otherwise. We retain your information for ordering purposes only. Payment authorisation is through a real time credit card processing system provided by SecureTrading which provides its own thorough security. We do not store your payment details after the payment has been processed.

• All our pages which can be used to hold personal information are protected using 128-bit encryption technology from leading security certificate supplier COMODO using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security standards. SSL encodes your personal information and all your transactions are protected by the powerful SSL encryption technology. SSL encrypts your credit card number, name, address, phone number and password as it travels through the Internet, so that it cannot be read by anyone other than the secure server. This provides all customers with the ultimate in safe, secure online ordering.

• As part of our commitment to your security, our site is tested and certified daily to pass the "McAfee Secure" Security Scan. This process goes a long way to address concerns about possible hacker access to your confidential data and prevents identity theft. Only if the site has passed the daily security scan id the McAfee Secure logo displayed.

Commited to providing the most advanced online security features, we support the Visa "Verified by VISA" and "MasterCard SecureCode" security services. With some card issuers use of these services is optional but for your security, to combat unauthorised transactions of your card and the use of stolen cards by third parties, we recommend the use of these services if available from your card issuer. In essence they are the new online version of 'chip & pin', using a password rather than a pin number.

• "Verified by VISA" is a new service that lets you shop online with added confidence. "Verified by Visa" confirms your identity when you make purchases in participating online stores - it's convenient and it works with your existing Visa card. You register your card just once and create your own password. Then, when you make purchases at participating online stores, a "Verified by Visa" window will appear. Simply enter your password and click submit. Your identity is verified and the purchase is secure. Click on the "Verified by Visa" logo to learn more.

• MasterCard, along with your card issuing bank, is concerned about the online security of its cardholders. "MasterCard SecureCode" enhances your current MasterCard card with a secret code to protect against unauthorized use of your card when you shop online at participating merchants. Click on the "MasterCard SecureCode" logo to see if you can register with card issuer for a "MasterCard SecureCode" now. If your issuer is not on the list, check back frequently-new issuers are being added all the time.
