You may also request that Ellwood Consulting deletes your personal information and we will endeavour to comply with your request unless we are required to keep it for legal reasons.
Storage and Security of your Personal Information
Your information is stored on secure computer storage servers and security measures have been put in place to protect the data from misuse, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Such safeguards include:
- Access to our database is restricted to authorised personnel only
- Login and password details are required to assess our database

Ellwood Consulting will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. The Internet is not always a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, while we seek to protect your personal data by implementing digital security systems in various parts of our website, Ellwood Consulting cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorised access or use of that information. Where we have links to websites outside of Ellwood Consulting’s own website, we cannot ensure that your privacy will be protected in accordance with this policy. You should consult these other websites' privacy policies as we have no control over them and are not responsible for any information that is submitted to or collected by these third parties. Please also note that Ellwood Consulting may transfer your personal information to overseas facilities for processing and storage. However, this does not change any of our commitments to safeguarding your privacy.

Continued use of our website, services, or further provision of your personal data constitutes your deemed acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
