Night Time Beds and Sofas is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors and customers. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using our website, you consent to the practices described herein.
We never share your personal data with third parties, except where it is necessary to fulfil your order or as required by law. Night Time Beds and Sofas adheres to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Your payment information is never stored on our servers. All payment transactions are handled through a secure, third-party gateway. More information about the payment provider's security measures is available upon request.
Security
We prioritise your privacy and the security of your personal information. All sensitive information shared during transactions is encrypted using industry-leading encryption technologies.
Transaction Security
All transaction data exchanged between our website and the payment gateway is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is transmitted or stored in an unencrypted form. Additionally, communications between our site and the payment gateway are verified using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can trust that your data is protected from unauthorised access during the transaction process.
Encryption and Data Storage
Sensitive data is stored using advanced 256-bit encryption protocols. Our encryption keys are housed in secure, tamper-proof systems comparable to those used by global certification authorities. These high standards ensure that your personal data remains protected. Regular audits by banks and financial institutions further reinforce our commitment to data security.
Links to Banks
Our payment gateway has direct, private connections with the banking network, which are entirely isolated from the public internet. All authorisation messages and cardholder information sent to and from the banks are securely transmitted, ensuring there is no possibility of interception or manipulation.
Employee Access
Access to transaction and personal data is strictly limited to senior-level personnel within our payment provider's organisation. Even in such cases, access is granted only under exceptional circumstances, such as when required by law enforcement for fraud investigations. Systems are designed so that full card numbers are never viewable, not even by administrative users.
