7. Data security
WH Software stores personal information in a secure environment accessed only by authorised persons. WH Software uses generally accepted security standards to protect personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
Where credit card details are transmitted, WH Software uses 128-bit encryption through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

This encryption process helps ensure that the information you give us is protected against unauthorised access. If you have any queries concerning encryption then you should please contact our Member Services team.
We have implemented technology and security features, as well as strict internal guidelines to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorised access. We will continue to look to enhance these features as technology changes and new technology becomes available. While we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
