We have therefore incorporated the European Commission approved clauses into our agreement with such partners and service providers to ensure the security of your personal data. A copy of the European Commission approved model clauses is available here: Whether the personal information you provide to us is processed by us, our affiliated companies, partners or services providers within the EEA or outside of it, we will take steps to ensure that your personal information will be afforded the same level of protection required of us under and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws and in accordance with current legally recognised data transfer mechanisms.

When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you are about to enter a secure area or display a padlock image.

Our Website uses this encryption technology to protect your information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address and credit card number. Our Customer Care team and stores also operate over a private, secure network.
