Your peace of mind is very important to us and we will do all we can to maintain your privacy.

Keeping you secure online

When you shop with us we'll ask you for certain information (such as your email address, name, address, and where you purchase a product, your payment details) to make sure that your order and delivery go smoothly. Any information you hand over reaches us fully encrypted through an SSL - a special security layer added to your account and checkout pages. You can see when you're on a secure page, because the address in your browser will begin with https instead of http.

Secure payments

Credit/Debit Card Information - we use a third-party payment processor to handle this information securely. None of your Credit/Debit card information is stored anywhere on this site or by Blue Banana (on-line) Limited.

Verified by Visa & Mastercard Securecode

You can register with Visa and Mastercard Securecode through your card issuing bank. It will bring up an extra security window after you check out that requires you to input digits from a pass code that you'll have set with your bank.

PayPal

When you choose to pay with PayPal, your financial information isn't even shared with us.

Keeping your password safe

Remember to keep your account password safe! We can help you to reset it now and then, but you’ll need to make sure that it stays with you and only you. Giving it out can represent a security risk and Blue Banana (on-line) Limited will not be liable for any loss or damage that might arise from this.
