Provisions Taken for Security
The website uses a secure network and has maintained security measures to protect your personal data. However, the internet is never a secure place as any transmission may occur unknowingly, therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security. But as said above, unquestionably we have followed varied safety measures for securing visitors’ information.
