In order to minimise the risk of data breach, Point South Ltd is a Cyber Essentials Certified Company. Cyber Essential Certified Companies have either undergone a verified Cyber Essentials self-assessment (CE) or a Cyber Essentials Plus Vulnerability test (CE+). The Certificate certifies that Point South Ltd was assessed as meeting the Cyber Essentials implementation profile (BIS/14/696) and thus that, at the time of testing, the organisation’s information and communication technology defences were assessed as satisfactory against commodity based cyber-attack. However, this certificate does not in any way guarantee that the organisation’s defences will remain satisfactory against cyber-attack. We are committed to keeping your data secure and will report any breach of security within 72 hours.

Newsletter tracking
The digital newsletter published by Point South Ltd contains tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows us statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Point South Ltd may see if and when an e-mail was opened by you, and which links in the e-mail you clicked on.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by Point South Ltd in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties. You are at any time entitled to revoke the consent to receive the newsletter and your personal data will be deleted by Point South Ltd automatically.
