SECURITY POLICY:

We take the security of your personal details extremely seriously. Security policies are designed to protect the personal details under our control. The Information that we have collected from you is maintained in a secure web server, which we believe to be a well-protected and secure environment.

Although we use advanced security measures to protect your information against loss, misuse and alteration, as is the case with all computer networks linked to the internet, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of your information provided over the internet and will not be responsible for this.

Never send any sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card information, via email.

If you are using a public computer then make sure you log out fully and close the browser.

When creating a password, a combination of letters and numbers is recommended. Try not to use obvious personal details such as the names of children or pets.

Keep your password private and do not use the same one for multiple online accounts.

It is recommended that you change your password frequently.

As part of our policy to protect against the fraudulent use of credit cards, we carry out random security checks on orders. These can take various forms, and may involve contacting you by telephone before your order is processed.

Phishing is the practice of tricking someone into giving confidential information, such as email scams that send banking customers to a website which is not the bank’s real website although it looks just like it.

We will never contact you by email to ask you to send or confirm any of your personal details. If we need any information of this nature, we will only contact you by phone or letter. If you receive an email claiming to be from www.wggraceoxford.com requesting this type of information, DO NOT RESPOND but please let us know by forwarding the email to info@wggraceoxford.com 

 

Username and passwords are asked to be provided to you as a customer. This allows you private access to information that we are holding, like the account information. If you wish to update, amend or delete any details, the online account gives you this access or you can email us at info@wggraceoxford.com

Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you are also entitled to view any information we hold on you by paying a small fee. If any information we hold on you is incorrect, please inform us immediately and we will make the necessary changes and contact you with confirmation of the changes. W.G.Grace reserves the right to close an account if any user is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to attempt to hide the use of multiple accounts, or disrupts any of our services in any way.
