We maintain organizational, physical and technical security arrangements for all the personal data we hold. We have protocols, controls and relevant policies, procedures and guidance to maintain these arrangements considering the risks associated with the categories of personal data and the processing we undertake.
We adopt industry-standard and proper security measures to protect your personal data. We have regular (penetration) testing performed by a third-party provider, which continues to show the strength of our technical defences.
