Protecting your personal information

As part of a Group of companies we are required to take appropriate technical measures
to protect your personal/company information including making a regular backup of our
system and data. We have security measures in place to make sure any company/personal
information we collect is secure. All parties with access to your information are subject to
confidentiality obligations.

If you think someone else knows your login password to access our systems, or is using it,
tell us immediately and change your password using the facilities and processes supplied.
Even though we take appropriate technical steps to protect your security, you should
remember that data transmission over the internet cannot always be guaranteed as 100%
secure so you use the website at your own risk.

We will keep this information for a reasonable time – currently 4 years (48 months) from the last date of access to the GradeMaker system / interaction with GradeMaker regarding a business transaction.
