Our Policies 📃

 

Here’s how we protect your privacy and data

We give you online security advice 🌐

We advise you on security software as well as ways to keep you safe online. We recommend ESET as a preferred antivirus solution for our home and business customers.

We use strong passwords 🔑

We use and recommend secure, long and unique passwords for all websites and services. We can help you with password software such as LastPass, which can easily keep track of your passwords and notify you of a possible password breach.

Our conversations are private 💬

Sensitive conversations about passwords and personal data are always treated as confidential. We will not disclose any of this information to anyone except where required by law.

We store your data securely 🗄

All of the data we store, including backups is held on encrypted and/or password protected media and servers. Only authorised LiteUp employees and contractors can access this.

Network & Computer Security are top of mind 🔒

We assess your network security (such as your Wi-Fi network) to ensure you are protected. We always recommend changing default passwords to devices such as routers, and will offer to do this as part of our standard service.

Employee and Contractor Data Policies 👨‍💻

All staff members and contractors are required to meet our own security policies with regards to passwords and the safe use and storage of client data.
