Why do you want my email address/telephone number etc?

We ask for these details so we can contact you in the rare case there's a problem with your order.

We do not make email addresses or telephone numbers available to other companies ever.

How do you keep my information safe?

All GreenSnail.org online purchases take place in a safe environment using the latest security technology to protect our customers.

We encrypt your credit card information to ensure your transactions with us are private and protected as they travel over the Internet. We accept orders only from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology - this means you cannot inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection. Most web browsers above version three support this security.

Your payment details are held in an encrypted format until we process your order. All orders are processed on computers that are not connected to the Internet. This encryption makes it virtually impossible for unauthorised parties to read any information that you send us.

What other information do you keep?

To help us give you the best service, we also keep records of:

Your purchases with us. This lets us send you the most relevant offers. It also means we can quickly deal with any problems you may experience with your order.

Any email correspondence you send us. This helps us keep track any problems or concerns you've had with our products or services.

What can I do to increase security?

Internet shopping is becoming more and more popular and the overwhelming majority of transactions are quick, easy and trouble-free. We do everything we can to ensure your shopping experience is as safe and secure as possible.

However, there are a number of additional precautions you can take to increase security:

We recommend you always close down your Internet browser when you have finished shopping online, especially if you use a shared PC. This will delete temporary Internet cookies from any sites you may have visited;

Never reveal your password to others;

Keep your password as unique as possible and try not to choose obvious passwords, such as your name, partner's name, or other personal information which could be easily obtained by a third party;

Avoid using the same password for numerous Internet sites.

Please note, GreenSnail.org will NEVER ask for personal details via email. If you do receive an email requesting this information, please contact us immediately.
