Tips for safe online purchasing

When shopping online, make sure you stay secure. Here are some tips:

1. Never give away sensitive personal information. Ensure credit-card details, card numbers, email, addresses and passwords are only accessible for you. If this information falls into the wrong hands, it may be misused.

2. Ensure you only make purchases from sites using a secure HTTPS connection. A HTTPS connection guarantees the security of data transfer. You can recognize a HTTPS connection by the small lock icon on the left of your browser.
