Privacy Statement

This Privacy Policy sets out how Something Literary uses and protects information you provide when you use this website.

We take the privacy of our customers very seriously and are fully committed to the following:

During the course of using our website to place an order you will be asked during the "Checkout" procedure to provide information about yourself such as name, address, delivery address and contact details. The only time we use this information is during the order processing, and delivery stages. At the payment stage of our order processing online you will be directed to our payment gateway "PayPal". We never handle or even see your credit/debit card details and all card processing is handled by PayPal whose primary concern is security.

Paypal state that "PayPal uses SSL technology to keep your information safe. In addition, when you send a payment using PayPal, the recipient won't receive sensitive financial information like your credit card or bank account number. This way, you don't have to worry about paying people you don't know." (Source:PayPal)

In addition to the above we can assure you that:
