Where necessary, Opticon will ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to comply with the requirements for the international transfer of personal information under applicable privacy laws.

Security
The collection, use and disclosure of personal information collected through our Services is safeguarded by technological and organisational security measures with the objective to protect the personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
