External website links & other parties

  • Although we only look to include quality, safe and relevant external links, users are advised to adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout this website. We will not be liable to you for any issues arising in connection with their use of your information, the website content or the services offered to you by these websites.

You use social sharing buttons at your own discretion and accept that doing so may publish content to your social media profile feed or page. For example when you ‘like’, ‘share’ or comment on one of our publications. Please remember it is your responsibility to set appropriate privacy settings on your social network accounts so you are comfortable with how your information is used and shared on them.

 

How we keep your information safe

  • We take security measures to protect your information including:
  • limiting access to our buildings to those that we believe are entitled to be there;
    implementing access controls to our information technology, such as ID verification and logical segmentation and/ or physical separation of our systems and information;
  • never asking you for your passwords.
