FAQ'S  
About Us So Gifted was founded in 2003 primarily selling quality teaching aids and educational toys to nurseries, playgroups and pre-schools. Due to demand from parents, we extended our range to include general toys and gifts for children. In 2004, using the same principles of quality, choice and value for money, we launched our Home & Garden and Occasions giftware range. In November 2007, to accommodate our ever growing number products, we decided to split the website to it's current format of www.sogifted.co.uk , www.sogiftededucation.co.uk and www.sogiftedjewellery.co.uk. and due to demand from overseas, are now shipping to our friends across Europe. Shopping can be done on all three of our websites using just one shopping basket to make life easier. We continually search for new and exciting products which we feel deserve a place on our Websites. We hope you enjoy buying the products as much as we have sourcing them.

We collect information about you for 2 reasons: firstly, to process your order and second, to provide you with the best possible service. The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience with So Gifted. We use the information to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update our records and generally maintain your accounts with us, display content such as wish lists and customer reviews and recommend merchandise and services that might be of interest to you. We also use this information to improve our store and platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.

We will not email you in the future unless you have given us your consent and will give you the chance to refuse any marketing email that may be sent to you from us in the future. The type of information we will collect about you includes name, address, telephone number, email address and products purchased but also extends to automatic information, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, login, e-mail address, password, computer and connection information such as browser type and version, your operating system and platform, purchase history, which we sometimes aggregate with similar information from other customers to create features such as Best Sellers.

Security  
 

At So Gifted, we take security very seriously, which is why we have chosen Protx to host our online shopping transactions.

Protx recognise that security is one of the major concerns for the shopper during an online transaction. They use state of the art security tools and techniques to ensure that you are protected against online fraud. In reality, an online purchase is probably more secure than a card transaction conducted in a shop, over the telephone or by fax - because Protx ensure that your online purchase details are encrypted using complex logarithm methods.

Your browser will operate in a secure mode as soon as you access the “checkout” we pages, i.e. before you enter any payment details. You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for either a locked padlock or a key icon in the grey bar at the bottom of your screen.

Shopping in a secure environment means that all of your details are encrypted, protecting each transaction made on our site, so your card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you are using one of the more recent browser versions, our site supports 128-bit encryption and therefore keeps your details as safe as possible at all times.

We only accept orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal information using an insecure connection. During the payment process, we also ask for additional security information to further bolster security.

If you have any further concerns about security, please call So Gifted on 01763 241111 or email info@sogifted.co.uk.
