I don’t store any of your payment details on my servers, i use PayPal to secure your payment information and execute transactions securely, and your details are not passed on to any third parties. However, i do reserve the right to disclose information to comply with the requirement of law by court order to prevent harm to persons or property and to fight fraud and credit risk reduction.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
It’s wise to use social media with care; once you put something out there, you never know who might see it. Particularly with personal details on social media, i always advise deliberating with due care and caution.
This website and its operators will never ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourage users wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact them through primary communication channels only, such as by phone or email.
I may use social sharing buttons throughout our site to help share content directly from web pages to the relevant social media platform. I advise before using such social sharing buttons that you do so at your own discretion; the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media account.
