Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of everyone we deal with.
Introduction
We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of everyone we deal with. The following Privacy Policy document has been drafted to show the steps we take to achieve this.
Inevitably, in dealing with people and organizations, there is a need to collect some basic information — even if only to start some form of dialogue. The information we collect is that considered necessary for us to carry on our business activities.
In view of this, it is recognized that it is incumbent upon us to put in place systems, mechanisms and procedures to ensure that any information collected is treated confidentially and not disclosed to other parties without the permission of the individual or organization concerned. This document is designed to tell you how we collect, use and protect any information you provide.
Please note, that if you provide personal information as a result of visiting this website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
