Do we only collect information from you via our website?

We will only collect information about you or your registered users directly from you when you access our website and/or use one or more of our products or services. If we ever need to collect information from someone or somewhere else, we will try to get your consent beforehand unless that information is already public record or it is not reasonably practical for us to do so. If we are unable to contact you before we collect your information from another source, we will notify you within a reasonable time after we have done so.

How long do we keep your information for?

We will only keep your information for a limited time until the purpose for which we collected your information has been met. After that, we will then delete or destroy it, unless we need to keep it for longer for evidential reasons or to comply with other legal obligations.

We may keep user information for statistical or research purposes, provided that we have removed any unique identifiers which can be used to link that information to the relevant user.

How do we keep your information secure?

We implement and maintain a variety of security safeguards to keep your information in our possession secure against internal and external risks, taking into account generally accepted information security practices and procedures.

We offer the use of secure servers. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment Gateway Providers' database only to be accessible by those authorised with special access rights to such systems, and who are required to keep the information confidential.

We do not store any credit card or other sensitive financial or personal information on our servers after a transaction has been completed.

If the security of our systems or our service providers' systems is ever breached, and your information is leaked or shared with someone who is not authorised to have it, we will notify you as soon as it is reasonably possible in the quickest way possible to help you avoid or reduce any potential losses.

How can you access, correct and/or update the information we have in our possession?

You have the right to ask, free of charge, whether we have a record of any of your information and the details of that information.

While we take reasonably practical steps to make sure our records containing your information are always complete, accurate and updated when necessary, you must notify us immediately if you believe any information in our possession is inaccurate or out of date. We will then investigate the matter and if any information is found to be incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate, irrelevant, excessive, out of date, misleading or was not collected according to the terms of this privacy notice, we will correct, update or delete that information within a reasonable time.

If you notify us that any of the information we have about you is not correct or accurate, or needs to be updated, we will immediately stop using that information until we have either corrected or updated it, or we can show that the information is actually correct and up to date.

Do we share your information with anyone else?
