How We Protect Your Data

Our site uses SSL (https protocol (look for the browser padlock). This helps prevent hackers and setting up software to steal visitor/subscriber details etc.


We only use third party software and services which we believe comply to rigorous standards of security and privacy to help eliminate risk to your data or infiltration by hackers through ‘back doors’ which partnering with security weak vendors or providers may leave open.


We work with secure third party vendors who have a good track record of security​.


We have installed robust anti virus and security software systems on the site to prevent hackers accessing the site via such things as ‘brute force’, ‘man in the middle’ attacks and more etc.

  3. Work with third party vendors/developers to ascertain and stop the breach spreading/deepening.
  4. Inform the ICO that a data breach has occured.
  5. In extreme cases, shut down the site yet ensure there is a public notice to inform the public what is happening.
  6. Ensure the subscribers and customers are communicated in a timely manner throughout the breach either via email or if that has been compromised then via the support desk/and or other channels such as Twitter etc.
