We recognise that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over the Internet.

We are not responsible for the privacy of e-mail messages except those stored in our system. We use the following practices on our website to enhance the level of security for communication and the transmission of personal information: - We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide.
