Our Commitment to Your Privacy
We appreciate this is a concern and we would like to assure you of our policy in this respect. The details we hold about you will not be passed on or shared with any outside parties.

Our Payment Service Providers WorldPay and PayPal deal with the credit/debit transactions and payment card verification.

Your Information - Specific to Membership
Ten days after the end of your subscription term all your entered details and address book entries will be deleted from our servers.
We offer gift memberships which can be assigned by an existing subscriber to a recipient of their choice. The contact email address in this instance is only used to inform the recipient of the dedicated gift. Information you provide to offer a gift membership is only used for that purpose, and it is only disclosed to the person receiving the gift. We may from time to time use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design the Website and the type and style of e-cards we may produce. e.g the number of times a certain e-card has been selected.

Data Security
WorldPay
WorldPay use industry standard SSL, Thawte and WorldPay's own unique encryption system, all the card details are encrypted before they reach the WorldPay system. When you fill in the payment form and click the 'Submit' button, your details are not sent straight-away. Instead a secure link is set up between the site and WorldPay producing a private/public encryption code which then wraps the transaction details before leaving the site.

PayPal
PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to our site, our server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information reaches PayPal, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.
