Your Security and Privacy
LatestBuy is committed to ensuring that all of our customers can shop with complete confidence. Please familiarise yourself with our Security and Privacy policies and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Your security is one of our highest priorities. We have taken every possible measure to give absolute security to our customers in their dealings with us. Information on this website is protected by state-of-the-art encryption and firewall technology. This provides a safe, sound and secure transaction environment for commerce on the Internet.
Information submitted to private areas of our website is secured using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software. SSL technology locks information passed from you to this website in an encrypted envelope. This makes it almost impossible to be intercepted by an unauthorised party, as long as your web browser and local network support the use of encrypted data transmissions. SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-commerce sites.
During checkout and in Your Account, our servers and your computer encrypt (scramble) everything that you enter into your computer, such as credit card and address details. As data is encrypted, other computers are unable to make sense of it, therefore keeping this information private.
You will usually know when transmitted data is safe by the appearance of a security notice when you enter a secure page. In addition, a secure icon will appear within your web browser. This is normally either a key or lock icon, depending on the web browser software you are using. Secure web pages can also be identified by their URL: they begin with 'https://', while standard pages begin with 'http://'.
Our practise is to not store all your credit card details. Following payment processing, we remove credit card numbers from our web server. Credit card transactions are actually carried out on and behind our banks servers and firewalls. For these reasons, you will need to enter your credit card details each and every time you order from us.
LatestBuy recognises that your privacy is very important and that you have a right to control your personal information. We understand that providing personal information is an act of trust. Accordingly, we take your privacy seriously and are fully committed to reflecting best practice in our Privacy Policy.
Any personal information you provide will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it and will not be added to a mailing list - unless you have given specific permission as part of the requested service.
