How secure is the site?
TryBooking is fully compliant with all information security protocols to ensure the safety of all data stored on our platform.
All data stored on our systems is encrypted using industry standard encryption algorithms, and we are fully compliant with PCI security protocols for the storage of payment data. We never store your full credit card information - only storing the last 4 digits to show you which card has been used to make the booking.
We take all reasonable measures to ensure your data is secure. All our data is hosted securely in the United Kingdom. We have several layers of security to prevent against attack, including multi-factor authentication, the use of secure website connections on all pages and firewalls protecting against unauthorised traffic.

Event organisers can also provide gift certificates for purchase, which can be used against any event hosted on their account.
