SECURITY

The security of your personal information is important to us.

Our website is scanned regularly for security holes and known vulnerabilities to make your visit to our Site as safe as possible.

We use regular Malware Scanning.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks. It is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have exclusive access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential.
