3. Protection of Information

We value the information that you choose to provide us and will therefore take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration.

You must always keep your personal information and any account numbers or details secret and ensure that you do not disclose it to anyone.

Should you at any time feel that you no longer wish to be contacted by us, you should advise us to that effect in writing via email to email address mail@ducko.co.za. We retain all data that is required for us to discharge our business activities for an indefinite period for historical, statistical and research purposes. We have established appropriate safeguards against the records being used for any other purposes.

4. Sharing of Information

Ducko Down does not and will not sell or provide personal information to third parties for independent use.
