Except as provided in this policy, the data that we collect on our site will not be transmitted to a 3rd party without your express permission. Meaning, that we will not, and do not, mine your data for marketing purposes, nor disclose the details of your traffic to a third party, without your express permission.

10. Security

We endeavour to ensure that any data we do collect from you remains secure and protected from being inappropriately or accidentally accessed, used, shared or destroyed, and or lost.

We have several security measures built into our website and ensure regular updates which maintain our security. We have also chosen to partner with companies that share a similar ethos when it comes to security.

Although we have taken the necessary steps to ensure a secure service environment, the internet is inherently unsecure, so always be alert for possible cyber security dangers. Note that we will never contact you requesting any personal information.

We may disclose Customer Information where we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our terms and conditions of use or may be causing injury or interference with our rights, property, our customers or anyone who could be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose customer information when we believe, in good faith, that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes necessary to maintain services and improve our products and services.

11. Deactivation or deletion of your account
