Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with the following software 128 Bit encryption on SSL. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear in the address bar of web browsers such as Google Chrome.

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are stored as standard practice on a server connected to the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Sensitive details (your passwords etc.) are stored in encrypted forms and cannot be read by Quensus. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
