Your personal details will never be shared or disclosed to any third party without your explicit consent and will only be used for the purpose for which you provided them. Information may be shared with a third party only if you give consent to disclosure, or if we are legally compelled and authorised to do so. Any information you provide is securely stored to prevent loss or misuse of personally identifiable information. Access to this data is restricted to authorised staff members, and it is treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Upon visiting our site, we gather data about your visit to aid in site administration and enhancement. This includes your server address, the date and time of your visit, how you arrived at the site (e.g., via Google), the pages you viewed, and the services you accessed. This information is anonymous and does not identify you as an individual. No attempt will be made to identify you from this information.

Our website provides links to third-party websites outside of our control. We do not accept any responsibility for their activities, and we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using their websites.
