SECURITY

Your Personal Data is held on secure servers.

Kelly Kettle.com understand that you're concerned about the security and privacy of your online transactions. This is why we use SSL to ensure that your valuable data, such as credit card details, are encrypted when you interact with our site.

We employ state-of-the-art data encryption to ensure safe and secure transactions to our site. Your computer and ours agree to transpose whatever we are sending into an unintelligible hash of characters, using a technology called SSL. For example:

3048 0241 00C9 18FA CF8D EB2D EFD5 FD37 89B9 E069 EA97 FC20 5E35 F577 EE31 C4FB C6E4 4811 7D86 BC8F BAFA 362F 922B F01B 2F40 C744 2654 C0DD 2881 D673 CA2B 4003 C266 E2CD CB02 0301 0001

Without the information on your computer or ours, no one can understand our encrypted communication. For your safety, please expect anyone who communicates confidential information with you on the Internet to use encryption, the way we do.

Secure Sockets Layer, SSL, is the security technology for encrypting a link between a web server and a browser. All data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and secure.

Whenever you communicate with us on secure sections of Kelly Kettle.com you'll notice that http:// is replaced by https:// (The 's' stands for 'Secure').

To generate an encrypted SSL transmission, a web server requires an SSL Certificate. Checking a website's certificate is good practice that helps you avoid spoof websites, sometimes called "phishing" sites. To check the certificate, click on the padlock. Your browser will show you the name of the owner of the certificate. This name should match the name of the website operator.

Our SSL certificates are issued by a leading certificate authority, Trustwave. Trustwave SSL certificates enable a high level of encryption. They also confirm that a company is a legally accountable organization.

To receive a SSL Certificate from Trustwave, we had to demonstrate to them that we are an existing business, along with our control over the domain you are visiting. When you shop online, you deserve to know who you are interacting with.

Seeing a site with a Trustwave SSL Certificate, confirms two essential factors:

That you have a secure SSL (encrypted) link with this website 
That this website represents a real organization

To find out more about SSL or Trustwave, please visit www.trustwave.com
