We encourage you to check back from time to time and review this policy each time you use our website, noting the date of the last update (below) so that you will always know what information we collect, how we use it, and to whom we disclose it.

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about your use of the website. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means they cannot be used to track your movements around the Internet.

We place great importance on the security of all personally identifiable information associated with our users.

Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will never occur, we use all reasonable efforts to prevent it.

You should bear in mind that submission of information over the Internet is never entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via our website whilst it is in transit over the Internet and any such submission is at your own risk.
