Security

This web site is administered by Hamilton Hindin Greene Limited.

When you visit this web site, we may collect personal data about you, either directly (where you are asked to provide the data) or indirectly. We will, however, only use this personal data in accordance with the purposes set forth in this Privacy Statement and are committed to safeguarding the personal information collected.

Security is a top priority and we have security methods and technologies in place to protect the details that you transmit over the internet, but no system can ever be guaranteed as 100% safe.

Rapidly advancing technology and the open nature of the internet, for example, make it difficult to achieve watertight security. This is why you too must keep an eye on your own safety, especially when downloading files and supplying personal details on the internet. It’s wise for you to take some personal precautions, so we can both ensure that any risks related to using our website is kept to a minimum. We recommend you keep your technology up to date with current security systems and operating systems updates.

Remember: HHG will never ask you via e-mail to supply confidential information.
