Security of Your Personal Information

Alive Outside strictly protects the security of your personal information and honours your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. As explained above, your personal information is never shared outside the company. Inside the company, data is stored on password-controlled servers only accessible to co-workers who need it to carry out their job responsibilities. 

 

Customers also have a significant role in protecting their information. No unauthorised person can see or edit your information without knowing your team/group login (username and password), so do not share these with others.

 

8. Site Security

Alive Outside has a committed Security Policy. We retain the information you provide when registering on our website for any event but implement a number of sophisticated security measures to ensure the safety of this personal information. The information is contained on a secure server, which is accessible only by a limited number of employees who have authorised access rights to such information. 

 

All sensitive and credit / debit card information supplied by any customer in the process of payment is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is commonly-used for managing the security of message transmission on the Internet through public-and-private key encryption and a digital certificate that establishes your credentials when doing Internet business or other on-line transactions. When you are asked to enter any personal details or credit card information, the website will be secure. This is easily identifiable by a green lock icon in the Page Address URL. SSL ensures that the information being transmitted to Alive Outside is secure.

 

If your browser supports SSL, and if you entered our site via our secure server access, then transmission of any sensitive data will be protected. If your browser does not support SSL, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of any browser to enhance the security of further transactions - otherwise the transmission of your personal data may not be protected and Alive Outside disclaims any responsibility in this case.
