Information is the Company’s asset and therefore the Company places a great importance on ensuring the security of your Personal Data. The Company regularly reviews and implements up-to-date physical, technical and organizational security measures when collecting, using and/or disclosing your Personal Data. The Company has internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your Personal Data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by the Companys employees in the performance of their duties.
