How We Protect Your Information and How Long We Keep Your Information

To protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control we have implemented security measures on our website.

When you place orders or access your account information, a secure server is employed. All information you input is encrypted by the secure server layer (SSL) before it is sent to us and all the customer data we collect is similarly protected against unauthorised access.

ABW cannot be and is not responsible for unauthorised access to information by hackers or others who have obtained such access through illegal measures.

"Phishing" is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an e-mail that looks like it might be from ABW asking for your personal information, do not respond. ABW would not request your password, user name, credit card information, or other personal information through e-mail.

We will only store your information as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information is collected and processed or, where applicable law provides for longer storage and retention periods, for the storage and retention period required by law. After that your personal information will be deleted.

How We Share Your Information

Except as described in this privacy policy, ABW will not share your personal information with third parties unless you have consented to the disclosure or under the following limited circumstances.

These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorised to use the information we share with them for any other purpose. In some cases ABW and third-party service providers may share tracking information, including your IP address, and ABW may provide information about your order to the website that has referred you to ABW (and the referral network utilised by such website), to facilitate calculation of any commissions payable by ABW.
