Privacy Policy
Cygnus is committed to protecting your privacy and security. We will only use the information we collect about you with your consent to tell you about our products or services. We will never willfully disclose personal information about you to any third party without first receiving your permission or unless we are under a legal obligation to do so.

Security
As soon as you enter your credit card details process, every piece of information that is transferred between you and us is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption. Even if data could be intercepted over the Internet it would be useless.
When you enter a secure area of our site, on your browser you will notice a picture of a small padlock - this normally appears right at the bottom of the screen. To double check this, you can right click on the page and select 'properties' or 'view frame info' from the list which will tell you whether you are secure or not. Also look out for the sign of a secure web page, which can be identified by the URL (the web site address). A standard page will begin with 'http://'. A secure web page will begin with the URL 'https://' denoting that the merchant is using a secure server for the transaction of data.
All credit card details are encrypted using 128bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). When you establish a secure connection, the downloaded web site sends a digital certificate to your web browser. When the certificate arrives, it contains a public key, which functions as a one-way encryption device. The browser then uses this key to scramble your personal data (Credit Card Information) before sending it over the Internet. Information encrypted with the public key cannot be decrypted without the corresponding private key, which only the merchant has. Without this exclusive, private key, your personal information cannot be read.

Complaints
If you have any comments about anything, do please contact us on info@cygnusgifts.co.uk, telephone +44 (0)1285 641151 or write to us at the address below.
