Secure Ordering with SNAAN
At Snaan Limited, we take your security seriously. Our website and ordering systems comply with the latest UK and EU data protection regulations, including the UK GDPR and PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). This ensures that your personal and financial details are always protected.
How We Handle Card Details
For your protection, Snaan Limited does not store or retain card details.
- When you place an order online or by telephone, your payment is securely processed via trusted third-party providers such as Stripe and our banking partners.
- All cardholder data is encrypted during the transaction and is only held for the duration required to complete the payment.
- Once the transaction is confirmed, this sensitive information is permanently deleted in line with PCI DSS compliance.
This means your card details are never stored on our servers.
Website Security Measures
Our entire website is protected by SSL/TLS encryption (look for the padlock symbol in your browser).
- This ensures that all information transmitted between your browser and our servers is fully encrypted and private.
- We implement site-wide HTTPS security on every page — not just at checkout — so your data is always protected.
- Our website is regularly tested and monitored to ensure compliance with modern cyber-security standards.
Protection Against Credit Card Fraud
We take fraud prevention extremely seriously to protect our customers.
- Every order is screened through advanced fraud-detection systems operated by our payment processors.
- High-risk or unusual orders are manually reviewed by our fraud prevention team to confirm authenticity.
- If fraudulent activity is detected, the order will be immediately cancelled, and our team will assist in cooperating with your bank or card provider.
In line with UK consumer law, if your card is used fraudulently, you are protected by your bank’s card issuer policies and will not be held liable for unauthorised payments.
Compliance with Legal and Industry Standards
- All transactions comply with PCI DSS , the global standard for handling card payments.
- Snaan Limited adheres to the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 , ensuring personal data is processed lawfully and securely.
- Our payment systems are regularly audited to maintain compliance and protect customer information.
Understanding SSL/TLS Encryption
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are technologies that protect your information when you use a website. At Snaan Limited , every page of our site is secured by SSL/TLS, so your personal and payment details are always encrypted.
Here are some practical ways to understand it:
1. The Padlock Symbol
- When you see a padlock in your browser’s address bar, it means the connection between your device and our website is secure.
- Example: If you type in your card number at checkout, the encryption ensures no one else can intercept or read it.
2. The “https://” Prefix
- Websites with SSL/TLS always start with https:// instead of just http://.
- The “s” stands for “secure.”
- Example: https://www.snaan.co.uk shows you are browsing in a safe, encrypted environment.
3. Data Privacy in Action
- Think of SSL/TLS like sending a letter in a locked safe rather than in an open envelope.
- Even if someone tries to intercept it, they cannot access the contents without the correct security keys.
4. Industry Requirement
- Modern browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Edge mark sites without SSL/TLS as “Not Secure.”
- This means if you don’t see a padlock, you should think twice before entering payment details.
5. Customer Protection
- Encryption not only protects payments but also everyday browsing.
- Even when you’re reading product details or signing into your account, your information stays private.
