In some circumstances, we collect personal information about you from a third party source (e.g. if we run a competition or event in conjunction with a third party co-promoter and you provide your personal information to that person).

Security of your personal information
Personal information that we hold is stored either in hard copy documents or as electronic data. We take reasonable steps to protect any personal information in any form, from misuse and loss, as well as from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
Physical security is maintained over our paper and electronic data stores and premises, such as locks and security systems. We also maintain computer and network security; for example, we use firewalls (security measures for the Internet) and other security systems such as user identifiers and passwords to control access to our computer system. Notwithstanding this, you would understand that data storage and transmission systems, particularly electronic and web based systems, cannot be guaranteed to be 100% safe or secure in all situations, and that there are security limitations inherent in such systems, and despite our reasonable efforts, risks will remain as a potential for these systems to be compromised.
