How We Keep Your Personal Data Safe.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You can further help to ensure your security by taking a few simple precautions. For instance, it is important to protect against unauthorized access to your computer and to any Web.com username and password, and to be sure to sign off when you are finished using a shared computer.

Your rights in relation to your personal data are limited in some situations. For example, if we have a legal requirement or a legitimate business purpose we may continue to process and/or retain your information. We will provide you with information on whether there are limits or exemptions that apply to any request that you make.
