We take the security and confidentiality of your personal information very seriously. BRAC UK uses industry-standard secure socket layer (SSL) technology to protect your information.

We limit the personal information available to these service providers to only that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such personal information.
