While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal data, please be aware that the transmission of information via the internet is not entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your information from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed.

They will process your personal data only on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data (see your legal rights below for further information).
