The north-norfolk.gov.uk  web server may automatically recognise the domain name and e-mail address (where possible) of users of our websites.

Security

We understand concerns about security and use all reasonable efforts to establish secure connections between our systems. We feel these measures provide significant security for the information on our site - however, no system is unconditionally secure.

To ensure that your card details remain secure, you will only be able to make online payments if you have Internet Explorer 5.5 or above installed on your PC. Internet Explorer 5.5 supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which is an industry standard for internet payments. This means all of your personal and card details are protected using 128 bit encryption when your details are transmitted over the Internet. This makes it virtually impossible for anyone else to discover and use your details.

You can check your browser encryption strength by using your mouse to hover over a padlock icon in the bottom right hand corner of your browser window (it should be a closed padlock). When you do this, it should tell you that it is SSL Secured 128 bit

Virus protection

We make every effort to check and test material at all stages of production. It is always wise for you to run an anti-virus program on all material downloaded from the Internet. We cannot accept any responsibility for any loss, disruption or damage to your data or your computer system which may occur whilst using material off north-norfolk.gov.uk.

General

These Terms and Conditions are governed and construed in accordance with English Law. If any provision of the foregoing is held to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
