  1. Security

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is protected from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. We may hold your information in either electronic or hard copy form.

As our website is linked to the internet, and the internet is inherently insecure, we cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of transmission of information you communicate to us online. We also cannot guarantee the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. Therefore, any personal information or other information which you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.

Notwithstanding this, in respect of Customer Data and the software applications that we license to you and provide you and your customers with access to via the internet, we provide the highest levels of privacy protection practicable, including, amongst things, protected servers, authentication using string passwords and encrypted data transfer channels.

  1. How can you access and correct your personal information?

You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see contact details below).

When we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing it to you). Generally, we will not charge you a fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing the information to you, however, where we anticipate that such costs may be considerable, and where we have your prior consent to charge a pre-agreed fee, we may do so. We will not charge for simply making the request and will not charge for making any corrections to your personal information.

There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information about you we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If this happens we will give you written reasons for any refusal. If you believe that personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we doe not agree that there are grounds for amendment then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
