What data breach procedures do we have in place?

We use encrypted technology and delete all expired accounts within 28 days so there is far less risk of exposure to hackers. We keep all of our software components up to date and regularly scan the entire system for viruses, trojans or other malware.

What third parties do we receive data from digitally?

None.

What automated profiling do we undertake with user data
