Security Statement
This Statement is, except where
separate and distinctive statements are provided,
applicable to the EVI Services Ltd. Accordingly,
references to "we", "us",
or "our company" etc. mean, as the case
may be, the relevant company within the EVI Services
Ltd.
While the Internet is not an inherently
secure environment for communication, Internet
communication can be made safer by the application
of appropriate technology as we have done (see
below). Internet security, however, is not solely
a "technology" issue. Common sense and
normal practice in safeguarding personal and transaction
data are of equal importance. "Hackers"
need a "door" to get into the system.
Often, access through this "door" is
provided to "hackers" due to simple
carelessness in the physical distribution of sensitive
documents and the handling of sensitive data (such
as passwords or personal identification numbers).
Users must, therefore, handle such sensitive documents
and data with extreme care.
We take security matters very seriously
and treat all personally identifiable information
obtained from users of our websites confidential.
In addition to the firewalls and other sophisticated
equipment implemented, we also provide and maintain
the following measures to protect our system,
and the information and data contained in them
from accidental or malicious disruption or destruction.
Adopt Security Standards
We will adhere to international
standards to ensure transaction integrity and
protect confidential information. Such standards
relate to, for instance,: (i) business and information
privacy practices, (ii) transaction integrity
and (iii) information protection.
Internal Guidelines on Access to
Personally Identifiable Information
All of our staffs will adhere to
our internal Guidelines on Access to Personally
Identifiable Information drawn up to restrict
access to personal data to only the members of
staff who have legitimate needs to have such access.
