We are committed to protecting your privacy and take our responsibilities regarding the privacy of your information very seriously. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. This policy explains how we use any information and how we protect your privacy.
We use the latest Secure Sockets Security Layer protocols. When you submit data using our secure servers, all of your personal details are encrypted. This means that your information, which may include your name, company and email address, cannot be read as it travels over the internet.
Your information is then held in our secure designated databases, protected by firewalls, security software and strong passwords, and backed-up regularly.
We will only use and analyse the information we collect to keep you up-to-date with developments and to administer, support, improve and develop our business. As required by the Data Protection Act 1998, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access and use of your information.
