We protect Your information using security standards such as firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to our premises and information access authorization controls. We also authorize access to Your information only for those employees or contractors who require it to fulfill their job or service responsibilities. However, no website, application, or transmission can guarantee security.

Please note that transmission of data or information (including communications by e-mail) over the internet or other publicly accessible networks is not one hundred percent secure. Please note that we are not liable for the security of any data you are transmitting over the internet.

As such, the information that we collect from You may be transferred to, and stored in various jurisdictions outside of Your country of residence and outside the European Economic Area ("EEA”).

It may also be processed by staff operating outside of Your country or the EEA who work for us, for one of our service providers or one of our business partners. By submitting Your information, You agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
