Disclosure of information

We will not share your personal information with any third parties except as described in this privacy policy. The Company also does not sell  your personal information with third parties for marketing, sales or other purposes.  The Company shares your information with third parties only in the limited circumstances described below, in which the Company believes that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to provide a service, is legally required or is permitted by you. 

  • The Company may provide information to the Company’s own employees and service providers to help us operate the Website and to provide the services to you that are offered through the Website.  This type of sharing may include disclosures to third parties who host the Website, help deliver email updates or otherwise provide back-end services.  These providers will only be able to use such information subject to the Company’s rights to do so and only for purposes of performing the services that the Company contracts with them to provide on the Company’s behalf.  
  • The Company may be required to disclose personal information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information unless we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards.

Storing and transferring your information

SECURITY

The Company is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of up-to date security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store any personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access. These systems are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. 

However, you should keep in mind that no Internet communication is ever completely secure or error-free. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you wish to enquire further about these safeguards used, please contact us using the details set out at the end of this privacy policy.

Retaining your information

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of our legitimate business interests and satisfying any legal or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and the applicable legal requirements.
