External Website Links & Third Parties
To help us share industry knowledge, we may include links from our website to other organisations’ websites.

Information provided to these websites is not covered by this privacy policy: we recommend that you review the privacy policies of the websites in question and adopt a cautious approach before providing them with your personal data.
Although we only look to include quality, safe and relevant external links, users are advised to adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout this website.
Shortened URLs: URL shortening is a technique used on the web to shorten URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) to something substantially shorter.

Users should take caution before clicking on shortened URL links and verify their authenticity before proceeding.
We cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any externally linked website despite our best efforts. Users should, therefore, note they click on external links at their own risk and we cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.
