How secure is your information?

Your information is stored on a computer server located in Victoria, Australia. We attempt to keep our server secure and free from unauthorized access and use, by enforcing physical security at the premises in which the server is located, and by using industry standard technological measures to prevent unauthorized remote access to the server.

Unfortunately, no server on the Internet or any data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Despite our best efforts to keep our server and transmissions to and from our server secure, we are
unable to absolutely guarantee security and there will always be a risk of unauthorized access to your information.

Although we will take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information that we hold about you, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorized access to such information.
