What data breach procedures we have in place

In the extremely unlikely event of a data breach, the website will automatically initiate, what our cybersecurity experts call “quarantine mode”. The website will also recognize an unauthorized login to the admin accounts and therefore, automatically switch into quarantine mode. In this mode all your information that you have provided us will be sealed away from the admin accounts. We will also immediately post on the website that the website will be under “quarantine”. During this, to absolutely ensure your personal privacy, if you see the message, log out asap to prevent the cybercriminal from accessing your information. Just to make sure that the cybercriminal can’t access your information, don’t use the website until “quarantine mode” is switched off after we successfully kick the cybercriminal out of our website.
