Tales from the Gum Tree by May Gibbs

SECURITY 

We utilise one of the most secure transaction channels available in the world today.
Our ecommerce application includes the following security features:

• We use Securepay as our credit card payment gateway which ensures your credit card details are recorded in a highly secure 128 bit encrypted environment.
• All browsers are required to use a minimum of 40-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology (This means that there is no way to bypass the security systems).
• Digital certification to verify integrity and authenticity from this website.
• Encrypted card details are sent with your order to our accounts department to be processed. Your card details are erased from record as soon as your order is processed. This eliminates the risk of your credit card details being captured and used by unauthorised people.
• Each order is checked, one by one by our accounts department before processing. This reduces the possibility of credit card fraud.
• Ecommerce functionality programmed and maintained by Mantis Technologies. A sophisticated Australian website developer specialising in internet security and watertight website infrastructure.

What does this mean?

This means that when you order hampers from our website, you can rest assured that the highest security checks have been put in place to make sure that your details will not fall into the wrong hands.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
