We may also automatically collect technical information from which you cannot be identified when you connect to our websites or use our services. Anonymous or generic information from which you cannot be personally identified is not personal information and is therefore outside the scope of this privacy policy.

Cathis will take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information it collects, uses or discloses is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

Cathis regards the security of your personal information as a priority and will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is securely stored.
