When information is sent over the internet it goes from one computer to another until it gets to where it's going. This means information could be seen or taken at one of those computers along the way.
We remove this risk because any information sent to us online is coded (encrypted).
You can tell if you're sending encrypted data to us. Check the web address at the top of the page you're on. It will start with 'https'. The 's' at the end shows that the page you're on is sending encrypted data. Pages not secure start with 'http' (there's no 's').
We also use other ways to protect your information.
