We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure, so we cannot promise that hackers, cybercriminals or other unauthorised parties will never be able to defeat our security.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature you can activate to signal your preference not to have data about your browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised, so we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any similar mechanism. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in future, we will inform you in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
