We will NOT disclose Your Personal Information except for where it is published on the websites
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to guard against unauthorized or unlawful processing of your personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your personal data. While no system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved. We have security measures in place to protect our user database and access to this database is restricted internally.
However, it remains each user’s responsibility: to protect against unauthorized access to your use of the Site;
- to ensure no-one else uses the Site while the user’s machine is “logged on” to the Site service;
- to log off or exit from Site when not using it; and
- where relevant, to keep his/her password or other access information secret.
All personal information submitted to us is stored on a secure server. We do not store credit card numbers or related identifying information on any Site server. All such information is stored by our credit card processing partner(s), who are obligated to store such information using secure methods. We also use third parties to help us optimize our Site flow, content and advertising (see below). All of our partners are under contract with us and they are obligated to keep your information confidential.
Despite the measures taken by us that the third parties we contract with, third parties may nevertheless unlawfully intercept or access private transmissions or data. Therefore, we cannot promise and you should not expect that your personal information and private communications will always be kept confidential.
