Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. We follow stringent procedures to ensure we work with all personal data in line with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018. Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with TLS encryption. Encryption makes it difficult for unauthorised people to view information travelling between computers.

On modern web browsers, by default, the site uses TLS encryption to protect all data you submit to us, and web pages we send to your browser. You can check you have a secure connection, and see more information in modern web browsers by clicking on the padlock icon in your address.
