Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information
When you give us your personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Our webpages are encrypted and protected – when you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Any information we hold on our database is also protected through encryption, stored on a secure cloud service server.
Some of your personal information may be passed on to third parties, or given by yourselves normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed as 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information and we hold it, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

We may analyse your personal information to create a profile of your characteristics, interests, and preferences, so that we can contact you with information relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you (a portfolio for example) when it is available from external sources to help us do this effectively. We may also use your personal information to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.
