Payment and card security

Cawdor Estate ensures that our IT systems do not directly collect or store payment card information, for example the full 16 digit number on the front of the car or the security code on the back. Our online payment system is carried out using a ‘payment gateway’ (Sagepay) which is a direct connection to a payment service provided by a bank. This means that when you input card data into the payment page, you are communicating directly with the bank and the bank passes your payment to us. This means that your payment card information is handled by the bank and not processed or held by us.
