HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Security

Keeping you and your personal information secure is particularly important to us. We take a number of reasonable steps to try to protect the personal information that you provide, including:


  • Using a Secure Socket Layer 3 (SSL3) to encrypt the personal data that you send us during the order process (including any financial information such as credit or debit card details).

  • Requiring you to establish a unique username and password to access your account on our website.

  • Regularly monitoring our servers and IT systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. Unfortunately, despite this, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to or through our website, and any such transmission is at your own risk. In particular, please keep in mind that if you voluntarily disclose personal information through other means of communication than the website in a non-protected environment (such as through email, sms, online messages) then that information can be collected and used by others outside of our or your control.

We treat your Personal Data as private, confidential and we strive to ensure that Personal Data under our control, regardless of format, is protected and kept secure at all times. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or of storing information is 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot absolutely guarantee the protection of any information shared with us.


Retention of data

We keep your Personal Data for as long as we have a valid and lawful reason to use it. After that we will destroy it or anonymize it so the data is no longer traceable back to you.


Changes

We constantly try to improve our Services, so we may change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to any material changes by placing a notice on our website, by sending you an email, and/or by other means. By using the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, you agree to the new Privacy Policy.
