Protect Your Personal Data:

While we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your Personal Data, we remain committed to continually applying a range of measures and safeguards to protect it. Our Privacy and Security Policy is comprehensive.

1. The Scope?

This Policy describes the types of Personal Data the Company collects about natural persons, and how we process it, share it with third parties, secure it, and related matters. This Policy concerns information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is someone who can be identified directly, or indirectly through a combination of additional information we hold or can access. This Policy defines ‘processing’ as any operation that involves the use or collection of Personal Data, including the management, structuring, and storage of Personal Data. Our services are intended for general audiences and are not designed for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly seek or collect information from persons under 18, nor do we knowingly allow such persons to use our services. If we become aware of information relating to children, we will delete it as quickly as we reasonably can.

When you use our services or channels, or visit our website, we collect Personal Data. At times, we may ask you to provide Personal Data. We also collect Personal Data by analysing how our Services and service channels are used, or by receiving information about you from our third-party partners.

3. You are not required to disclose personal information to the company; however, there are consequences.

• The Company or a third party may need to process data to pursue legitimate interests. For example, this may be necessary to improve Our Services or to defend legal claims.
• Processing must comply with legal obligations.
