Security
Keeping your information secure is critical and we take that responsibility very seriously. Our servers are housed not in some vaporous internet cloud, but firmly on the ground in a very secure facility in the M4 corridor. The building is managed by top-flight datacenter specialist who has a strong focus on physical security and stability of power and network infrstructure. We house and maintain our own servers in this building, complete with with 24/7 monitoring and redundant, encrypted offsite back-ups. So your data is well protected, and stored entirely under our control within the UK.
All personal, including any card, details are fully encrypted with 256 bit SSL
encryption. We are fully compliant with Payment Card Industry
standards (PCI DSS) and are a registered Data Controller under the
Data Protection Act.
We will not share your members' information with any
third parties, except for the limited purpose of processing
payments. We will not contact your members for marketing purposes, ours or anyone else's.
We will never display advertising on your club pages, except for a small WebCollect logo.
