When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any sensitive information you pass to us through the website (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with encryption on SSL. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on your browser to indicate that.
Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
