6. Security and where we store your personal data.

Keeping information about you secure is very important to us and certain sections of the site may encrypt data using SSL or a comparable standard. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed totally secure. As a result, whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information which you send to us, and you do so at your own risk.

For clients using the portal please be advised that the link to this feature will take you to a third party site hosted by www.doc-safe.co.uk. We are not responsible for the availability, content or security of these external sites.

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. We will take all steps necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

7. IP addresses and cookies.

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates.
