How we protect your data
We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed or accessed without authorization. We also allow access to your personal data only to those employees and partners who have a business need to know such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they must keep it confidential.
This website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to ensure your details are encrypted and securely communicated to us, safe from prying eyes or malicious threats. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for enabling data encryption on the Internet and for helping website users confirm the owner of the website. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. However, we are not liable for any unauthorized access to this information.
What data breach procedures we have in place
This website is regularly swept for malware and consistently updates its plugins and themes. We receive weekly reports of all attempted logins and access. No customer data is stored directly on this website; however, WordPress provides data erasure. We do not import SEO data into this website but maintain SEO data using only Google Analytics.
