We may also use cookies for anonymous profiling to tailor advertising to your preferences.

We follow industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You should contact us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your password, username or account.

Our site may contain links to other sites operated by third parties. We make no representations or warranties in relation to the privacy practices of any third party site; and we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of any third party site.

We will investigate your complaint and use reasonable endeavours to respond in writing within 30 days. If we fail to respond within 30 days or you are dissatisfied with our response, you may have the right (depending on jurisdiction) to make a complaint to the regulator.

We may change our privacy policy from time to time. Any updated version will be posted on our site. This privacy policy was last updated on 6 December 2018.
