How do we protect your personal information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information stored with us. We hold your personal information in paper-based and electronic files. We seek to ensure that your personal information which is kept in our files is protected from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Only authorised personnel have access to your details through our IT systems. Your information is treated with respect and only accessed when necessary.
Where your information is collected via our website, we use a secure server. All supplied sensitive information is transmitted via 256 bit encrypted Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers' database only to be accessible by those authorised with special access rights to such systems, who are required to keep the information confidential.
After a transaction, your credit card information will not be stored on our servers.
Do we use cookies when you visit our website?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computers hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers systems to recognise your browser and capture and remember certain information.
We use cookies to help us remember and process enquiries and bookings and understand and save your preferences for future visits. If you turn off cookies, then you will not be able to place an online order with us on aahrit.org.
Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
We may disclose your personal information to outside parties, such as related organisations, service providers (including ClickSend), regulatory authorities (where required or authorised by law), professional advisers and government related authorities.
