We expect service providers handling personal information on our behalf to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security.
8. Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services to provide website functionality, hosting, analytics, communication, security, embedded content or other technical services.
These third-party services may process certain technical or personal information according to their own privacy policies.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party services where appropriate.

Where analytics services are used, their processing of information is also subject to the applicable third-party provider's privacy policy.
11. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while reasonable safeguards are used, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
