How we protect your data

We take the protection of your personal information seriously and aim to ensure this this site is as secure as possible. We have implemented restrictions related to the storage of and the ability to access your personal information. These include:

• Daily malware scanning done automatically on our hosting servers.
• Making regular, secure backups of your website data.
• Backups are kept in secure storage.
• Encouraging strong, unique passwords on all user accounts, using the integrated password strength indicator tool and encouraging user to change passwords periodically.
• Limiting the number of people with access to the website’s CMS and admin
• Restricting access to sensitive website files with current best hardening practices.
• Individual accounts for users – no shared logins.
• Removing accounts (or reset of associated passwords) when employees with user accounts leave our community
• Transferring of website files between local to public environments by secure transfer protocols (SFTP).

Our website platform is continually being upgraded and maintained by our website provider to keep up to date with latest versions, security practices and technologies, to help minimise security risk.

Please note that no transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In case of a data breach, our system administrators will go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user. We will create a fresh backup, scan the site for malware and attempt to identify the breach, removing any associated code and means of access. Subsequently we will look at preventative measures that will prevent a similar breach from happening again, and take action where possible.
