Spring welcomes ideas and feedback from you about all aspects of the site. Spring stores feedback that users send to us. This feedback is used to administer and refine Spring service, and, at times, may be shared with Spring's partners either in aggregate form or with specific identifying characteristics (e.g., e-mail address, name) removed.

How Secure Is Your Information?

We attempt to keep our server secure and free from unauthorised access and use, by enforcing physical security at the premises in which the server is located, and by using industry standard technological measures to prevent unauthorised remote access to the server.

Unfortunately, no server on the Internet or any data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Despite our best efforts to keep our server and transmissions to and from our server secure, we are unable to absolutely guarantee security and there will always be a risk of unauthorised access to your information. Although we will take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information that we hold about you, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to such information.
