DATA PROTECTION
Sweethearts & Tarts are committed to protecting your privacy and will only use personal information collected about you lawfully and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. All personal details are held on a secure database solely for the purpose of fulfilling orders. Customer details will not under any circumstance be passed on to third parties.
PAYMENT SECURITY
We are not aware of any documented cases of debit or credit card fraud using our shopping system either via the Internet or by other means. We accept debit and credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard, Delta, Solo, Electron and Switch) via the industry leading and internationally trusted Paypal Pro system. All sensitive customer information is protected via Paypals independent and secure, 128 bit SSL (secure sockets layer) encrypted server (the highest commercially available), meaning that we have no access to your card details at any time for online payments. Payments taken over the phone are processed directly using Paypal Pro Virtual Terminal, and again no card details stored. In the rare event that the system is unavailable for processing your telephone payment, manual card details will be taken. Once payment has been successfully processed your card details will be destroyed immediately and safely. For your further security, the Paypal system checks the address that the debit/credit card is registered to against the address given for delivery. If you wish for items to be delivered to an alternate name and/or address, please indicate this at the time of placing order with us and include a contact telephone number in case validation is required by ourselves.
