The Sites contain links to other websites. Plus4Events is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other websites.

7. Security

Our Sites have security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the Customer Data under our control. However, the internet is not 100% secure and despite taking all possible measures, Plus4Events cannot guarantee security.

When our Sites are accessed using URLs with the https:// prefix as confirmed by the padlock in the top left hand corner of many web browsers, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology protects information using both server authentication and data encryption to help ensure that sensitive Customer Data is safe, secure, and available only to you.

Plus4Events also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and hosts the Sites in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders.

Finally, Plus4Events provides unique user names and passwords that must be entered each time a customer logs on. These safeguards help prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of Customer Data.

Customers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their own user registration and password.
