Protecting Personal Data

Protecting your personal data

Your personal information is protected using state-of-the-art technology, and through the law that requires us to provide full protection to your personal data. Your personal information is encrypted in flight and at rest ensuring that even if someone was able to get hold of the data, they would not be able to decipher it. We have implemented multiple layers of security with no external access to our database. All data is kept in the UK with strict audit controls on administrative access to the environments. We do not sell your data for any reason, and we handle it only to provide you with the service you’ve registered to use. Our transparent and clear Privacy Policy gives you further details. If we need to use your data for any other reason, we do it only with your consent. We are registered with, and regulated by the UK Government Information Commissioner's Office, complying with UK and European policies on data privacy and protection.

Securing your identity

For your assurance, we only ask for minimal information when you register: a first name so that we can address you and an email address for contact and to allow you to sign in. We use a complex hash algorithm to protect your password and we implement multi-factor authentication (like the one-time-passcode -OTP) to ensure that you are the only one with access to your account.
