Your Security

Your privacy is important to us, which is why we will never release your personal details to any company outside of Akbar International for their mailing or marketing purposes, although we reserve the right to disclose this information in the circumstances set out below.

We treat all of your personal information as confidential and keep it on a secure server. We use appropriate physical, management, and technical measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, modification, damage, or loss. For example, we use cryptographic technologies for data confidentiality, protection mechanisms to prevent attacks, and access control mechanisms to permit only authorized access to your personal data. We also provide training on security and privacy protection for employees to raise their awareness of personal data protection. Akbar International is committed to protecting your personal data; however, please note that no security measure is perfect.
