Security

We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Information you provide to us against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to your Personal Information.

Our security measures are being improved continuously as new technology develops. The processing and transmission of data through our website is encrypted by Secure Sockets Layer protocol (“SSL”), which is an encryption technology to ensure the highest possible security for the transmission of your data, including Personal Information, between your web browser and our internet system. The URL of a website with SSL connection to your browser starts with “https://”. Most browsers indicate SSL-encrypted websites by displaying an icon that depicts a closed padlock. This icon might be located in the address bar or the bottom status bar. If you have turned off your status bar, this icon may not be visible, even on websites that use SSL.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of the user's personal information under our control.

Our Sites may contain hyperlinks to other websites provided by third parties. We do not control these third party websites or any of the content contained on those websites. Once you have left our relevant Services, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide. You should exercise caution and look at the relevant privacy policy for the Services you visit.
