Security

We use industry standard SSL to ensure that all important information is kept secure. The encryption that this involves is time consuming so we are careful to specifically secure only the elements of our service that utilise your personal or other sensitive information.

You can verify this by looking for the padlock symbol on your browser and the 'http' changes to 'https' when viewing a secure page.

There are two important key aspects to security:

Your payments

You can make your payment using either:

• Mastercard or Visa via Paypal at the checkout.

• Direct Deposit-

Westpac
Acc name: Thinking Toys
BSB: 034-083
Acc number: 208661

Please enter your order number as the reference and contact us when the deposit is made.

• Cheque/ Money order- made payable to 'Thinking Toys' and sent to:

Thinking Toys
PO Box 495
Samford
Qld 4520

Your order will be posted as soon as funds have cleared in our account and you will be notified of such.

You do not need to have a PayPal account when making your payment online. You can pay using a credit card or you can use a PayPal account to get the extra benefits a PayPal account provides. The choice is yours.

Many sites will record your credit card information. We do NOT. We are reviewing this facility because it is popular and in high demand but the reality is that it is not, and never will be, as secure as PayPal.

PayPal has over 150 million member accounts in 190 countries and regions. They spend millions of dollars every year ensuring that their security is top rate. PayPal protects your credit card information with industry-leading security and fraud prevention systems.

Your personal details

Our privacy policy describes how we treat your information and what we do with it. For added security, all of the areas of our site that manage or relate to your personal information are secured using SSL and encryption to ensure that there is no possibility of your information being lost or stolen.

Storing information on the computer you are using

Like almost all online shopping sites, we use a little snippet of information called a cookie to store a special code on the computer you are using while you browse our site. The code allows us to keep track of your purchases and data as you move from page to page on our site. Only the code is stored so you don't need to worry about any information that someone else could use being left around.

If you are browsing our site (or any other shopping site) using someone else's computer it is best to logout when you finish.
