We use technical measures such as encryption and password protection to protect your data and the systems they are held in. Our primary system of record for client data is stored in our Client Relationship Management Database (CRM).

We host our Websites in a secure server environment that uses firewalls and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders.

We keep these security measures under review and refer to industry security standards to keep up to date with current best practice.

8) Sharing your data

We will not sell individual information and will only share it with our advisors who will not use it for any secondary purposes. “Individual information” is information about a user that is presented in a form distinguishable from information relating to other users but not in a form that personally identifies any user or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user. We may share aggregate and survey information, but this information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. However, you should be careful when including any personal information in any submission or as a part of any chat room discussion. This information may be readily available to other users and we cannot control their use of that information.

We use outside shipping companies to ship orders, and credit card processing companies to bill you for products and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We may partner with another party to provide specific services. If you request these services, we will share your name or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide the services. These third parties are not permitted to use the personally identifiable information except for the purposes of providing the requested services.

We may disclose information about you or your company if we have a good faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to claims, or to protect our rights, property or safety or those of others.
