Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secured. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data transmitted through any online means, therefore any transmission remains at your own risk.
