Security Policy

At Simons Leathers, we take security very seriously and make purchasing leather goods online as safe as shopping in any of our high street shops. Your browser will go into secure mode as soon as you access the payment pages, i.e. before you enter any payment details. You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for either a locked padlock or a key icon in the grey bar at the bottom of your screen.

Being in 'secure mode' means that all of your details are encrypted to help keep them secure. Encryption creates billions of code combinations to protect each transaction made on our site, so your card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet, keeping your details as safe as possible at all times.

We only accept online orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal information using an insecure connection. During payment, we also ask for your card billing address as an additional security check.

We recommend that you always close down your Internet browser when you have finished shopping online, especially if you use a shared PC. This will delete temporary Internet cookies from any sites that you may have visited.

If you have any further concerns about security, please email us or telephone on01202 558884.
