You can be reassured that employees have limited access to your information and will only process your data in strict confidentiality.
Please note that if we suspect a personal data breach we are legally required to notify you and any applicable regulator.
You should be aware that, where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password safe and confidential and you must not share it with anyone.
Finally, you must know that despite all these efforts, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, even at the highest level of security. As such, you are ultimately responsible for any transmission of your data, which is at your own risk. However, we (and our service providers) have procedures in place to prevent any unauthorised access.
