We know that many of you have concerns about shopping online. With daily news stories about fraud, 'phishing' and other online scams, we don't blame you! But we do want you to know that we take the security of all your personal information and payment details very, very seriously.

Firstly, all your personal details (name, address, etc.) are transferred to us using 128bit SSL encryption and can only be accessed by us here at earthspirit so we can process your orders. Your credit or debit card details are safer still, since we don't store them at all. They're securely transmitted to Barclays (one of the world's largest banks) or PayPal for processing, without us even seeing them.

Every decision that we make at earthspirit starts with its security implications in mind and we keep an eye on new technologies to ensure we're offering the most secure service possible.

We promise to protect your privacy. We will only use the information that we collect lawfully and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

We collect information about you so that we can process your order and provide you with the best possible service. At all times you have the opportunity to opt out of future mailings. We do not send unsolicited random marketing emails to personal addresses.

The information we hold will be accurate and up to date. You can check the information that we hold about you by emailing us. If you find any inaccuracies we will delete or correct it promptly.

Session cookies are used on this site to hold information that help to make your shopping experience with earthspirit as smooth as possible, such as the contents of your shopping cart. These type of cookies are deleted when your browser is closed and no personally identifiable information remains.

By enabling cookie support on your browser, the communication between you and this site is strengthened to be certain it is you who are making transactions on your own behalf, and to prevent leakage of your privacy information.
