  1. Security of your personal information

We are committed to ensuring that the information you provide to us is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

We will endeavour to promptly correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

In these cases, we will provide reasons for denial of your correction request.

If we refuse to correct your Personal Information you have the right to associate with the information a statement that the information is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.
