Information on Security

How we ensure your protection?

Your privacy is our priority. We make sure the personal information you submit to us online remains strictly confidential.

We ensure your protection with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This scrambles your data making it unreadable by third parties. It does this by:

  • Server authentication
    The web server sends a digital certificate to your computer so that you can be sure of its identity.
  • Client authentication
    Your computer authenticates itself to the server by showing its digital signature.
  • Encryption connection
    During the Internet connection, data is encrypted (i.e. scrambled) so that only your computer and the web server can understand the contents. This prevents other Internet users from intercepting the information sent between you and the web server.
