Andoti has taken many precautions to ensure that our website provide an easy, trouble-free, enjoyable and safe shopping experience. Anedoti use industry standard & highly Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information and to ensure absolute safety in the My Account area and during Checkout. As a further precaution your credit card information is never retained on our database.

Once you have registered with us, your online account information in "My Account" is protected by a password chosen by you. Access to that online account requires your username and password. In order to maintain the secrecy of your username and password and/or account information, we recommend that you do not disclose this information to any other person. Your account information will never contain your credit card information and this will need to be provided at each order.

All transactions are protected using technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which is the industry standard security protocol to communicate with secure browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape. If your browser is capable of SSL, your sensitive information will automatically be encrypted before being sent over the Internet. (You don't however have to know in advance whether your browser does support secure transactions- if it doesn't you will not be able to complete the checkout process and the transaction will be cancelled automatically). All SSL capable browsers have a symbol (either a closed lock or a key) which indicates secure mode. In addition, you will be able to tell when you are in a secure area by the URL appearing in the address bar, which will change from HTTP to HTTPS. Your payment details are held in an encrypted format until the order is processed.
