Privacy Policy

We do not collect any personal or financial information about you without your permission. If you enter your details to place an order or make an online credit card purchase, you will not receive any unsolicited email from us afterwards or have your details passed to anyone else except as required for this billing and delivery process.

Our online financial transactions are processed by World Pay, who provide the following assurances about data security on their website:

Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the shopper and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality, an online transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone or by fax, as the information transmitted online is strongly encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations.

The WorldPay payment system uses a combination of both established and innovative techniques to ensure the security and integrity of all sensitive data. Furthermore, our public web servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority, ensuring that both the shopper and retailer can have confidence that nobody can impersonate WorldPay to obtain confidential information.

Transaction Encryption

The transfer of the purchase details from the retailers site to Worldpay are encapsulated using our own encrypted and digitally-signed protocol. This uses a combination of standard methods such as PGP, RSA and MD5 to ensure that the information passed is secure and tamper-proof via SSL. See Purchase Token Security for details.

Security for the Shopper

Any communication between the shopper and WorldPay is also encrypted to the maximum strength supported by the shopper's browser using 128 Bit SSL. Shoppers are also protected from fraudulent use of their card in a "card not present" environment, by their card issuers. The card issuers provide the right for shopper to dispute a transaction if the goods/services did not arrive or if the card was used fraudulently.

Data Storage

Data storage on WorldPay systems, and the communication between WorldPay and the worldwide banking networks, is regularly audited by the banking authorities to ensure a secure transaction environment. We also ensure that we stay up-to-date with the latest versions of any third-party code we use, and continually review our own proprietary code.

As this is a new website, we are collecting some technical statistics in order to ensure we are providing a usable service for all our visitors, and to discover how people are finding us. In order to do this, we may need to store a temporary 'cookie' on your computer, so that we can tell if we are getting new visitors or people coming back. If you do not wish to allow this, you can use your browser's menu to turn off either cookies or Javascript. Your use of this website will not be affected, although other websites may require these to be switched back on.

Information collected via the website relates to technical details of computer and software setup, such as web browser and screen size, and to website marketing, eg search engine use and referring links.

Information is stored on a temporary basis for monitoring statistics, is not available to the public, is not used for identification purposes, and is not passed to any third party. If you contact Black Dog Studios or Beach Web Design about anything else we will not pass on any of your contact details or identifying information without your permission unless we are legally required to do so.

We thank you for your interest.
