Security

At Purple Frog, we take security very seriously. All account information is password protected and where appropriate we use industry standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmission. All security on our website is treated seriously and reviewed by our security & abuse team on a regular basis. We also undertake security steps, including extensive use of SSL technology, on our back end systems that store customer account information. Purple Frog may send you emails from time to time but we would never send an email asking for your security information or log on details, or direct you to a web page that asks for this information. If you receive an email that appears to be from us that you suspect is fraudulent or contains content you judge not to be originally sent from a member of our team, do not click on any links contained within the email or provide any credit card or log on details. Please forward a copy to greg@purplefrogproperty.com. If you have any further concerns about security, please email or call Greg White (head of our customer service team) greg@purplefrogproperty.com or 0121 270 2722.
