We take reasonable steps to protect the security of personal information (including cookie information) in accordance with this Privacy Statement and our Website Terms of Service.
We do not give out information about our users and we take reasonable precautions to protect personal information collected and stored by us. These precautions include, but are not limited to security systems and monitoring, secure access to offices and archives, encrypted passwords, firewalls, anti-virus programs and other security measures put in place to prevent accidental or malicious loss of data or personal information.
Unfortunately, no one can guarantee that data passing over the Internet will not be intercepted or used by unauthorised third parties. Accordingly, although we work hard to protect that information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us and we are not responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information. Once we receive information that you have transmitted to us, we will take reasonable steps to preserve the security of that information in our own systems. However, you should regularly check your computer equipment for Malware such as Spyware, Trojans or key loggers.
You must also play an important role in keeping your personal information secure, by maintaining confidentiality of any user name, password, profile and accounts used on the website. Please advise us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your user name, password, profile or accounts by any other internet user or any other breach of security. To ensure ongoing privacy we recommend you change your passwords from time to time, and never give your password to anyone.
