How do we protect user data?
To keep your visits to our website as safe as possible, we regularly scan it for vulnerabilities and security flaws. Only a small group of people with specific access privileges who have agreed to keep the user information confidential can access the secured networks where your personal data is stored. Moreover, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption protects all sensitive information you provide.
We do not store or process transactions on our servers; all transactions are completed through a gateway provider. We also take various security precautions whenever a user places an order, enters, uploads or accesses their data on our website to maintain all personal data as confidential as possible.
Do we publish personal data on our website?
We do not publish any of our clients’ personal data on our website. Just a few members of our staff and experts have access to some of the personal data you reveal, which is displayed in our system next to each of your orders.
Be careful when posting information on our website that you do not want to share with anybody.
The firm expressly disclaims any responsibility for the interception, theft, loss or other unauthorized access to or use of the data you provide or post on our website.

Disclosure to a third party
We never trade, sell or otherwise transfer personal data to third parties without first notifying the user. This does not apply to our website hosting partners or other third parties that help us run our firm, operate the website or provide services to our users, as long as those third parties undertake to maintain this information confidential. We may also disclose information as necessary to fulfill legal obligations, enforce the website terms and conditions or otherwise protect the rights, safety or property of our firm or others. Nonetheless, visitor data that cannot be used to identify an individual may still be shared with third parties for advertising, marketing or other purposes.
