SECURITY
Is my credit card information secure?
At the Cowshed, we take security very seriously. We want our customers to feel completely at ease with doing business with us over the Internet. We know that security is a major concern to some of our customers and therefore we have put a system in place that is far safer than giving your credit card details over the telephone or giving your card to a waiter in a restaurant.
We feel confident that credit card information entered on our site will not be accessed by any unauthorised person or company. Our secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption supplied via SquareSpace uses 128-bit encryption. In addition to this, once your order has been transferred to our order processing system all credit card details are removed from the website as an added precaution.
You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for locked padlock icon at the bottom of your browser screen or in the browser location bar.
Your credit card details are not held on the Internet. Once the payment has been validated and approved, your details are deleted. This does mean that you will need to repeat your credit card details for every order - we know that this is a minor inconvenience but we do this to protect you and increase security.
We cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.
