Security

We are engaged in respecting your private life and protecting the information you submit. The security of your personal information is one of our highest priorities.

We employ security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorized persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

We also train and bring awareness to our employees as to the importance of privacy, confidentiality and security of your personal information.

Further, contracts are in place with contractors, which supports our business (such as our internet service provider), to ensure that your personal information remains secure.

Here follows a list of the procedures that we implement to protect your privacy:

• a username and a password are needed to access personal information;
• firewalls are implemented to protect information stored in our servers;
• confidentiality agreements are signed with employees who have access to your personal information;
• all employees adhere to our privacy policy and face severe sanctions if they break it;
• system back-ups are set to ensure the integrity of your personal information.

Although every possible attempt to secure your data is made there is always some risk that unscrupulous operators may find a way to penetrate our security systems. As such, we cannot completely ensure that the collected personal information will never be revealed in a way which is in contract with this Privacy Policy.

Please think carefully about giving personal information in messages posted in any of our interactive communication tools (forums) as these are open to the public and are considered neither private nor secure. Remember that what you have submitted can be collected by third parties and used in ways that may be beyond our control.
