HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE YOUR INFORMATION

Security
​
We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures, policies and procedures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorised disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned.
​
Measures we take include:
​
-
placing confidentiality requirements on our staff members and service providers;
​
-
destroying or permanently anonymising personal information if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; and
​
-
following strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your personal information to prevent unauthorised access to it; and
​
-
using secure communication transmission software (known as "secure sockets layer" or "SSL") that encrypts all information you input on our website before it is sent to us.
