Security of personal information

The security of your Personal Information is important to us.

Enforcement

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to set out the principles governing the use of personal data you provide to us and any information that we obtain about you.

When we receive formal written inquiries, request or complaints, we will contact the person who issued the communication to follow up.
