2) Our Security Guarantee

We use the very latest encryption technology (SSL) to protect your credit card details. This technology is widely used to deliver secure transactions over the Internet.

We also have a Verisign Site ID, so that you can be sure we are who we say we are.

We work with many of the best companies in the online and offline market place (VirginNet, LineOne, AOL, Compuserve, Freeserve, The Times, CondeNast, Excite...).

We are so confident that shopping on lastminute.com is secure that we will offer to pay you! In the unlikely event that a fraudulent transaction is processed on your credit card because we have been negligent in safeguarding your credit card details, we will reimburse your outstanding liability up to £50, plus we will also pay an additional £20 for the stress you had to go through! You will need to inform your card issuer in accordance with its own rules and procedures. UK High Street banks sign up to a Bankers Code of Conduct which ensures that you are only liable for the first £50 of a fraudulent transaction if you comply with the card issuer's rules.

3) Our Privacy Guarantee

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We only use the information we collect about you to process orders and to give you information about deals that are relevant to you.
