The security of your personal information is important to us and FAB has invested significant resources to protect the safekeeping and confidentiality of your personal information.

The Internet is not a secure form of communication and sending and receiving information over the Internet carries with it risks including the risk of access and interference by unauthorized third parties. Information passing over the Internet may be transmitted internationally (even when the sender and recipient are located in the same country) via countries with weaker privacy and data protection laws than your country of residence. We do not accept responsibility or liability for the confidentiality, security or integrity of your personal information in connection with its transmission over the Internet.

FAB operates channels, pages and accounts on some social media sites to inform, assist and engage with customers. We monitor and record comments and posts made on these channels about FAB so that we can improve our products and services.

FAB is not responsible for any information posted on those sites other than information we have posted ourselves. We do not endorse the social media sites themselves or any information posted on them by third parties.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

FAB may in its absolute discretion update this privacy policy from time to time. It is therefore recommended that you review it regularly.
