We will not disclose your personal information to any other person except on a confidential basis to agents and to companies and or businesses who we use in the ordinary operation of our business (such as data processing, printing, graphic design, typesetting, binding and/or mailing).

Is my personal information secure?

We take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is protected from risks such as loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

We keep personal information only for as long as the law requires. We takes all steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to destroy or de-identify personal information that we no longer need and are not required by law to retain. The measures we undertake may vary with the type of information, and how it is collected and stored.

If we are satisfied that the information requires correction, we will take such steps (if any) as are reasonable in the circumstances to correct such information having regard to the purpose for which the information is held. If we refuse to correct the information as requested by you, then we will give you a written notice which sets out the reasons for the refusal (except to the extent that it would be unreasonable to do so) and the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal.
