- Our Plan in Case of a Data Breach
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will use reasonable efforts to protect Customers’ personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of Customers’ data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at Customers’ own risk. Once we have received Customers’ information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. We maintain a data breach response plan in case personal information is lost or subject to unauthorised access, modification, use or disclosure or other misuse.
