How we protect your data
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.

We DO NOT store your credit card information. All payments are processed securely via the Stripe payment gateway or PayPal, a safer way to pay online without sharing any financial details with the merchant.
We may transfer or disclose personal information to other companies, to our professional advisers and to such other parties as we consider necessary, in the administration of the website or if required to disclose such information by law. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
While we will take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information you disclose online. You must accept the inherent security implications of providing information online over the Internet and you agree not to hold us responsible for any breach of security unless we have been negligent or in willful default.
