Security Information
Gubba takes reasonable steps to preserve the security of cookie and personal information in accordance with the Gubba website Terms of Use and this Security and Privacy Statement. If your browser is suitably configured, it will advise you whether the information you are sending us will be secure (encrypted) or not secure (unencrypted). If secure transmission is indicated, Gubba currently uses 128 bit SSL encryption through its Payment Gateway DPS. All credit card transactions are therefore handled through a secure server.
Gubba regularly reviews developments in security and encryption technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although Gubba strives to protect such information, Gubba cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of the information in our own systems.
Information Collected
The information that Gubba collects about you depends on how you use the facilities offered by the Gubba website.
If you visit an unsecure area of the Gubba website (that is, an area where you are not required to log on) to read, browse or download information, our system will record the date and time of your visit to our site, the pages viewed and any information downloaded. In addition, our system may record personally identifiable information while not logged in.
If you complete any fields in online forms or surveys on the Gubba website, the information that you enter into the online form or survey will be stored in the Gubba database.
Collection of IP Addresses
It is necessary for Gubba to collect your IP address for your interaction with various parts of the Gubba website. Your IP address is the identifier for your computer when you are using the internet.
For instance, Gubba collects and stores your IP address when you log into the Gubba website. As part of our security for Gubba we use this information when we attempt to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions. We store your IP address for security and audit purposes. Your IP address will not be used by us or released to any third party except in the case of security, inappropriate behaviour or fraud issues, such as unauthorised access to your or our computer systems or fraudulent transactions.
Cookies
We use "cookies" as a fundamental part of our interaction with your Internet browser. The purpose is to provide you with better and more customised service and with a more effective website.
A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your computer by our web page server. A cookie can later be retrieved by our webpage servers. Cookies are frequently used on websites and you can choose if and how a cookie will be accepted by configuring your preferences and options in your browser.
