strenuous efforts to ensure that security is one of our highest
priorities and we have devoted a great deal of effort to ensure that
our online security measures help to safeguard your information. Where

to allow for the encryption of:
2.1.1 potentially sensitive

critically-sensitive information like your credit card number.

If concerned only about the privacy of your credit card information we
encourage you to use an alternative payment method if available.

secure transactions and privacy, and the steps you can take yourself,
you will be as happy about the safety of your online transaction and
order information as we are.
