Credit card security is one of our top priorities at Creature Toys, and that is why we guarantee 100% secure ordering for all of our customers. To protect you and your credit card information, we use 128 Bit encryption technology, which is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions recognised and approved by all major banks, some of which include Barclays Bank, HSBC, National Westminster and The Royal Bank of Scotland, i-Stores.co.uk and the which? consumer body. Our encryption technology sends your credit card number to our computer in an encrypted code, which only we can decode using a special encryption key.

Why is the 128 Bit encryption technology we use so good?

The 128 Bit encryption technology we use encrypts your payment details and securely sends this information to our server, using special software we are able to securely download and then un-encrypt your order. Our system offers an extra security feature unlike normal SSL sites offering only a 40-bit key can. Because of the way your information is stored, hackers and possible untrustworthy employees working for the server company could get access to your information. With our system no one can have access to your details without the un-encryption key in anyway shape or form as your credit card number is not held in clear text format. The 128 bit key used on our site is 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 times as strong as the SSL 40 bit key used by some e-commerce websites.

Does it work on my Web browser?

Our transaction system works only with Web browsers that can use SSL – such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and the America Online browser in addition to the 128 Bit encryption technology that our site uses. If you are using the latest browser such as Internet Explorer 5.5 (and above) you will also be using 128 bit encryption within it.

Creature Toys will not provide any information about our customers to anyone outside of the company unless required to do so by the ruling courts.
