Aside from the disclosure or transfer of your personal information to our Date Hosting Service Provider (see “Where your information is stored” below), we only permit our authorised personnel to access your Personal Information.

The Internet is not a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, we cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorized access, use or modification of that information.
