Data Security
Safeguarding your personal data is a top priority. We understand the importance of protecting your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Here are the measures we take to ensure the security of your data:
Security Protocols and Encryption: We employ a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Our systems are equipped with robust security protocols, and sensitive data is encrypted during transmission. This includes using secure server software (SSL) and other advanced encryption technologies designed to protect your data from interception or unauthorised access.
Regular Security Reviews: Our security practices are continuously reviewed and enhanced as necessary. We regularly update our technology and protocols to address new security threats and to keep your personal data safe.
Limiting Access: Access to your personal data is strictly limited to employees, contractors, and agents of Videre Consulting & Coaching who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service). These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Payments: When you pay for services such as coaching, we will collect your payment details for the purpose of processing your transaction. Our payment solutions are PCI DSS compliant, and information is stored securely. We do not have sight of any of the sensitive payment details you provide - such as card details.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, it's important to note that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. However, we assure you that we take all reasonable measures to protect your data against loss or theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
We encourage you to also play a role in keeping your data safe. For instance, be cautious about the personal information you share in public areas of our website, as these are accessible to others.
