We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls. We use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission through the public Internet.

8.4 However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. If you believe your personal data has been compromised, please contact us by e-mail to sales@software.travel.
