How We Keep Your Data Secure

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. Such as SSL encryption on all connections between your device and our servers, and appropriate access control systems to our infrastructure. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our services is at your own risk.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies for essential functionality, analytics, and advertising. We only use non-essential cookies (e.g. for Google Analytics and AdSense) with your explicit consent.

If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
