Procedures for data breaches
The risk of data breaches, as with all services on the Internet, is always present, but the probability is incredibly low. In the unlikely event that a data breach or other failure becomes known, our immediate practice is to shut down public access to our servers and services.
We will put in place procedures to investigate what exactly have happened, and measures will be taken to inform all affected parties, correct errors and restore secure operation. If it becomes known that a data breach has affected you as a user, we will inform you by sending an e-mail with necessary information and measures.
