Only once we receive your transmission, we can take reasonable steps to ensure its security.

9. Accessing or correcting your information

​You may request access to any personal information that we hold about you. The type of information you request will determine the length of time we take to respond. We will generally respond using the same communication method by which your request was originally made.

We do not impose any charge for submitting a request for access or correction, or for any activities required for us to correction information or update our records in response to a correction request. We are entitled to refuse you access to (or correction of) your information in certain circumstances. For example:
