We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy, applicable data protection laws and regulations as well as international security standards. The data that we collect from you is stored inside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and accessed and used subject to our security policies and standards. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. We have implemented reasonable physical, technical and managerial controls and safeguards to keep your personal data protected from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Your access to your personal data is limited to a restricted number of our staff whose duties reasonably require such information and third parties with whom we contract to carry out business activities on our behalf. Our staff has been trained on the importance of privacy and how to handle and manage personal information appropriately and securely. However, your information may also be transferred within or outside the EU/EEA where privacy laws may be less strict than in the EU-EEA/UK.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
We will keep your personal data for as long as we need it for the purposes set out above, and so this period will vary depending on your interactions with us. Data may be retained for a longer duration where applicable laws or regulations require, or allow us to do so. Where we no longer have a need to keep your information, we will delete it.
Under applicable data protection laws and subject to any legal restrictions, you may have the right to request us to: (i)access information held about you(ii) request access to all the personal data we hold about you; (iii) request that any inaccurate personal data we hold be corrected; (iv) to object to certain types of processing of your personal data we carry out (including the right to opt-out of any direct marketing); (v) request that we delete the personal data we hold about you; (vi) to request a copy of your personal data in a machine reasonable, commonly used format (or to request we transfer your personal data in such a format to a third party service provider); (vii) restrict certain aspects of the processing of your information and (viii) to stop a particular processing when you withdraw your consent.
