Where will the data be stored? How secure is it?
Any information which you provide will be stored on our in-house database which only our employees can access. This, or the
dynamics of the Internet may mean that information is sent electronically to servers outside of the country/region where you
originally entered the information. In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside the country/region where you
entered that information. Whenever we handle personal information as described above, regardless of where this occurs, we take steps
to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with our Site Terms of Use and this privacy policy.
Unfortunately, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
