We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the security of your personal data and to minimise the risk of accidental loss, access or use in an unauthorised manner.

We will attempt to respond to legitimate requests within 30 days, although in some cases it may take longer due to resource restrictions or the overall complexity of the request.
