Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

We recommend that you use anti-virus software, firewalls, and other precautions to protect yourself from online security threats.
If we are notified or made aware of a potential serious data breach, where the security of personal data may have been compromised, we will notify the relevant legal body in the UK, The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), within 72 hours or without undue delay. We will provide the required information as stated under GDPR. If the risk posed to the freedoms and rights of any individuals is high, we will inform all concerned individuals without undue delay, stating the nature and date of the breach, the likely consequences, and the name of the officer of the company with responsibility for GDPR compliance.

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our privacy practices. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically for any updates. The revised Policy will be effective from the date it is published on our website.
