Card Security
When the order is placed on our website, credit card numbers are encrypted
using 128 bit encryption. They are only decrypted after they reach our
computer. They are not held in clear text on any website.
When a donation is made on the Practical Action website the transaction is final
and not disputable unless unauthorised use of your payment card is proved. If
you become aware of fraudulent use of your card, or if it is lost or stolen, you
must notify your card provider in accordance with its reporting rules.

Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations
In May 2011, new regulations were implemented into UK law as a result of the EC E-Privacy Directive of 2009. This requires all websites to gain the consent of users before storing cookies on their device (computer, mobile phone, etc). The only exception is if cookies are 'strictly necessary' for the service requested by the user as they are for the Practical Presents shopping cart. Practical Action intends to comply with the new regulations, and is actively exploring ways to do this without significantly degrading the user experience.
