Controlling your personal information

We do not store your personal information other than on our Data Processors secure systems

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely.

Non-sensitive details (your email address, etc) are transmitted normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Use of ‘cookies’
