Example, when you register at the site or when submitting information during an on-line purchase. However, whilst we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure the security of any information that is being transmitted to us via the Internet - no transmission of data via the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Some best practice to increase your level of security

Logging On

Before logging-on, please satisfy yourself that the equipment you will be using will not permit electronic eavesdropping or recording of your activities. When logging-on, ensure that you are not being over-looked (by a person or by Closed-Circuit Television).

Logging Off

The following advice is good practice and we recommend that these steps are performed. It is particularly important that these steps are followed if you access your personal Lapjacks website from a from a public location, or one where you do not have complete control over your computer environment - such as a LAN in your workplace, an internet café etc. Although the Lapjacks Web application will log you off after a certain period of inactivity, it is recommended that you always explicitly log-off from the service when you have finished using it. This will minimise the risk of someone else gaining access to your accounts between the time when you finish using the service and automatic log off. When you have logged-off, some information relating to your activities may remain within your computer. The next steps will remove certain information about the history of your activities from your computer.
