Enhanced security of data transmission
We recognise the concerns that some people have about sending personal information over the Internet and operate enhanced security measures.

When you visit certain areas of our web site you may be notified, by a ‘security alert notification’, that you are about to view pages over a secure connection. Any information you exchange within these areas cannot be viewed by anyone else on the Internet.

The transfer of personal information is completed using secure servers. These servers use high level 128 bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption - which is a leading security standard in the e-commerce industry. For your peace of mind, you will see the "padlock" symbol on your browser bar in Internet Explorer, or a "key" symbol in Netscape Navigator. Clicking these symbols will confirm the security provided.

Some contact facilities use standard email to provide the details entered. Where email is used to transmit this information to us you will not see the security symbols on the page and the form will state that standard email will be used.
