Security For Your Data

We from Celtic Dance World take your data privacy, and our own site security, extremely seriously. So we invest in SSL secure e-commerce technology, because we recognised how important this issue is. We also guarantee a responsible handling of all your personal data and according to the regulations of the strict german data privacy laws!

We will always treat your privacy and data security with the utmost care. We build our systems to the highest security standards and use the latest in security technology to ensure your credit card information stays safe. Our rigorous security practices mean you can be assured that your credit card data is actually safer with us than, for example, ordering by telephone or saving them in e-shops with a login-function.

Personal Data In Mail Orders Always SSL-secured!

Sensitive data such as credit card numbers are securely encrypted, using the SSL-technology (128-bit) for every stage of their communication route. If not please check the address line of your internetbrowser. It must contain a http://www.celtic-dance-world.com/... but not only http://celtic-dance-world.com/...!

We never store credit card numbers on our servers.

You will recognize that you are in a SSL-secured area by the help of a closed padlock symbol at the bottom of the status bar of your internet browser. If your computer does not supply SSL-technology - rarely but possible - you do not need to worry about that your personal data will be sent uncoded. You will usually receive an error message from our website instead. Please ask your internet provider what to do in this case.

Our SSL-Certificate:

No Login = More Security!

Of course it's very comfortbale to use a customer-login to have your complete data at your's disposal for not typing in all data again in a new mail-order. But please also realise, that your complete data will be safed on an internet-server somewhere in the world when establishing an user-account or login! Usually your data will also be technically secured, but in a case of trouble your complete personal, sensitive data (e.g. credit card details) would may be available for unauthorized!

This is the reason why we do not provide a registration or login-function in our shop system any longer! As a result you will always have to retype your complete data for every mail-order, but what's the difference for more data security?!
