Security Policy
Shaptahik2000.com has appropriate measures in place to ensure that users' personal details are not misused, accidentally destroyed, lost or altered.

Occasions will arise when customer information is passed outside Shaptahik2000 to other data processors (i.e. fulfillment bureaus, database consultants etc.) but they will only act upon instruction from Shaptahik2000 in order to perform the services required.

Transfer of Personal Data Overseas
Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Therefore, by browsing Shaptahik2000.com and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.

Updating Customer Details
It is important to us that we have your correct contact information so that you don't miss out on further correspondence or experience problems with the delivery of products.

Global Executive Self-Assessment Questionnaires
If you complete a Global Executive Self-Assessment questionnaire, we will collect personal details about you and the answers you submit. This is to enable us to provide scores and personalised reports and to enable you to re-start the questionnaire within 24 hours of first taking the test.

After 24 hours, your answers will be anonymised and they may then be used for research and analysis purposes, particularly to help us and our suppliers improve the quality of the questionnaires.

Should you want to anonymise your data sooner, a link is provided throughout the Self-Assessment pages for this purpose.

Shaptahik 2000 does not intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from individuals under the age of 13. When necessary, underage users will be told not to submit any personal details and we will make every effort to delete any details of such users where a parent or guardian has informed us that these details have been collected.
