You can use the contact information below to request a copy of these contracts.

  • Social Media, Blogs, Reviews, and Similar Services
    Any social media posts or comments you make to us (e.g. on our own Facebook page) will be shared under the terms of the relevant social media platform (e.g. Facebook or Instagram) on which they are made and could be made public by that platform. These platforms are controlled by other organisations and so we are not responsible for this sharing.
    You should review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the social media platforms you use to ensure you understand how they will use your information, what information relating to you they will place in the public domain and how you can stop them from doing so if you are unhappy about it.
    Any blog, review or other posts or comments you make about us, our products and our service on any of our blog, review or user community services will be shared with all other members of that service and the public at large.
    You are responsible for ensuring that any comments you make comply with any relevant policy on acceptable use of those services.
    Data Security
    We maintain appropriate technical, physical and organisational measures to protect Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. Unfortunately, no information security system can be 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of the Personal Information against unpredictable loss or unauthorised access.

​

Your Rights 

​

Subject to restrictions under applicable law, you have the right to request from us access, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability of your Personal Information.

You can exercise your rights by using the contact information below. 

 

​

Data Integrity 

​

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we collect is relevant for the purposes for which it is to be used and that the Personal Information is reliable for its intended use and is accurate, complete and current. However, in some cases we must rely on individual users to provide and maintain accurate Personal Information. You are responsible for making sure that your information is up-to-date and accurate when you provide it to us and where our services offer you the tools to maintain your information. 

 

​

Management of Personal Information

It is very important to us that all the information we hold about you remains accurate and up-to-date at all times to reduce the chances of us having a misunderstanding. We try hard to make sure this is the case at all times regardless of what information we hold about you. We need your help in doing so though. If you have any online account with us, please ensure that the information you provide to us through that account (e.g. any contact information you provide) remains accurate and up-to-date. Please review and update it regularly. 

If you have reason to believe any of the information that we have collected from you may be inaccurate, and you cannot correct such inaccuracy yourself through your registered account with us, please contact us (see below for how to do this). 

 

​

​

We will only retain Personal Information for as long as we are required to do so by applicable law(s), or for as long as necessary for the purpose(s) for which it is processed (e.g., for as long as you remain a member).
