-
keep us up to date with changes to your personal information such as your name or address.

Security of your information
We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is stored
securely. Transmissions sent to or from our website are routinely monitored
for quality control and systems administration. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we
strive to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised
access, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us
or receive from our online products or services. These activities are conducted
at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to
ensure its security.
Credit card information is among the most important data we collect. Superior

unauthorised use of such information. Credit card information that is
transmitted via our secure servers is encrypted in accordance with the highest
standards over the network. For obvious reasons, please do not send
credit card information through unsecured email.
Childrens privacy
Childrens privacy is very important to us. We ask that children under the age
of 18 have a parent or guardian verify their membership application with
Superior Software for Windows Pty Ltd. While Superior Software for Windows Pty
Ltd will make every reasonable effort to ensure that children's privacy and
other rights are not compromised, it is ultimately the responsibility of
parents to monitor their children's Internet usage.

to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and
correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a

Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information over
