We also use a third software firewall on this site to monitor and block attempted breaches of this specific website. Any attempts to breach security result in notification of the site owner with details of the attack so that any additional measures to protect you and our site may be taken.

In the unlikely event that all of these measures should fail, we promise to notify suitable authorities of any data breaches and to notify you if there is a threat to your rights or interests.
