On-Line Credit Card Security

You may have noticed that the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certification is not displayed on the checkout pages. This is because we are using frames to aid navigation, however we would like to assure you that this page is secure. This can be verified by right-clicking (ctrl+click on Mac) on the relevant page and viewing its properties.

The purchase area of our site is secure; this means that we utilise industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and other critically sensitive information like your credit card details.

Information passed between your computer and our Web site cannot be read in the event it is intercepted by someone else.

Did you know?

The risk of credit card fraud is 100 times greater when you hand your card to the waiter in a restaurant than when you shop on the Internet!

At Kidski.co.uk we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more personalised shopping experience. Please read on for more details about our privacy policy.

What information do we collect? How do we use it?

When you order, we need to know your name, e-mail address, delivery address, credit or debit card number and expiry date. This allows us to process and fulfil your orders and to notify you of your order status.

We also ask for your telephone number which enables us to contact you urgently if there is a problem with your order. For some international deliveries this number may be given to our couriers.

We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the Web site, new services and special offers we think you'll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this information, please send an e-mail to mailinglist@kidski.co.uk. Make sure to change your preferences for each account or e-mail address you have left with us.

How do we protect customer information?

When you place orders or access your account information, we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us.

Furthermore, as required by the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we are able to disclose sensitive information to you.

What about "cookies"?

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do enable us to provide features such as quick shopping and to store items in your shopping basket between visits. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features in our store, including placing items in your shopping basket and purchasing them.

Will Kidski disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

Kidski does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others.
