Credit card & data security
Scotweb uses the latest in security technology to ensure your credit card information stays safe, as well as maintain the utmost respect for your personal information.
All partner companies within the Scotweb network of web sites agree to adhere to our rigorous security practices, meaning you can be assured that your credit card data is actually safer with us than, say, ordering by telephone.
Scotweb's security statement
Scotweb takes your privacy and data security extremely seriously, and you can supply your credit card details on all Scotweb sites in confidence that this data will not be stolen or misused.
Scotweb was the first Scottish company to invest in SSL secure e-commerce technology (in 1995) and we go much further. We build our systems to the highest security standards so you can rest assured that your information is secure all the way to the supplier.
Scotweb systems are built on the robust Linux operating system, known for its superior security to Windows. Sensitive data such as credit card numbers are securely encrypted for every stage of their communication route, and we never store credit card numbers on our servers.
We insist that any partner company wishing to join the Scotweb network uses high-grade public key encryption for the transmission of sensitive data such as credit card numbers to and from our servers. Therefore your data is securely encrypted at all points from leaving your computer to arriving in the supplier's office.
