These other sites may send their own cookies to users collect data or solicit personal information. Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd does not control the privacy policies of its business partners, advertisers, sponsors or other sites to which it provides hyperlinks. Users should keep in mind that whenever they give out personal information online that information can be collected and used by people they don't know. While Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd strives to protect its user's personal information and privacy, it cannot guarantee the security of any information the user discloses online and does so at their own risk.
  19. The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd's users is of utmost concern and importance to Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd. Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd exercises great care in providing secure transmission of the user's information from their PC or phone to its servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd strives to protect personal information, Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or from its online products or services, and the user does so at their own risk. Once Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd receives the user's transmission, Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd makes its best effort to ensure its security on Eziko Consulting (Pty) Ltd's systems.
