Our website may host various blogs, forums, wikis, and other social media applications or services that allow you to share content with other users (collectively called “Social Media Applications”). Any Personal Information or other information that you contribute to any Social Media Application can be read, collected, and used by other users of that Social Media Application over whom we have little or no control.

Our website responds to “do not track”. You will not see any consent information because we will not register cookies on your device.

  • Physical security measures, such as staff security passes to access our premises.

Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your Personal Information, the transmission of data over the internet (including by email) is never completely secure.
