How do we keep your personal information secure?
1. BPW uses commercially reasonable efforts to keep personal information secure. The website has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under its control.

Accordingly, we cannot be responsible for loss, corruption or unauthorised acquisition of personal information provided to the Site, or for any damages resulting from such loss, corruption or unauthorised access. Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access, for instance, all access to our information bases wherein information is kept is logged for security purposes and access is limited to key personnel.
2. Where applicable certain specific activities are protected using a secure communications encryption technology called SSL; i.e. while editing your demographic profile. SSL (stands for Secure Sockets Layer) is a method for hiding information to prevent others from intercepting and reading the information sent between the client (your computer) and the server (the website).
