CREDIT/DEBIT CARD SECURITY

At Classroom Capers/School Stamps we take every precaution to protect our customers' information. When you submit sensitive information via our website, your information is fully protected both online and off-line. We do not retain any payment information on our servers, as all payment data is processed with the highest security practices by our partners PayPal and BrainTree.

While on secure pages, such as our checkout page you will see a closed lock icon appear on either the top or bottom right of your Web browser window. Another way to be sure that you are on a secure page is to look at the URL in the top address bar (Secure URLs start with https:// instead of http://.)

Code of Practice for Information Security Management

We endorse the Code of Practice for Information Security Management (BS7799) and regularly review both our electronic and manual procedures to constantly improve what we do. If you have any questions about the security of our website please email us or call 020 7193 8408 where we will be happy to answer your questions.

How information is kept secure
