ActionAid takes security very seriously. We want to make shopping online as safe as shopping in any high street retail store.

Whilst visiting the ActionAid store your browser is in secure mode. You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for either a locked padlock icon, or an image of a key in the grey bar at the bottom of your browser screen.

Being in 'secure mode' means that all of your details are encrypted to help keep them secure. Encryption creates billions of code combinations to protect each transaction made on our site, so your card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you are using one of the more recent browser versions, our site supports 128 bit encryption, therefore keeping your details as safe as possible at all times.

We only accept orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal information using an un-secure connection. During payment, we ask for your card billing address, as an additional security check.

If you have any further concerns about security, please call our supporter services team on +44 (0)1460 238000 or email supporterservices@actionaid.org.uk
