How secure is the site?

Bob Shop takes every precaution to prevent the loss, misuse and alteration of all information under its control. When you submit sensitive information via our site, your information is protected both online and offline. When any of our pages ask you to enter sensitive information, the information is tokenised and stored with the payment provider - Bob Shop does not retain the card details.

When you are visiting a secure page, such as our registration form, the lock icon on the bottom or top of web browsers such as Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer indicate a locked signal, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information offline. The servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment with firewall protection. If you have any questions about the security on our site, then send an e-mail to communitywatch@bobshop.co.za.
