Security

The Bogong website has security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the Information under our control, including credit card information that is submitted to us. When users place orders or access their account information, the Site uses 256-bit secure server software (SSL), which encrypts all information users' input before it is sent to us. In addition, we do not store user's credit card numbers in their online accounts so if someone obtains your account log in information, they will not be able to view a user's credit card number. Thus, we have taken steps to protect the information we collect from you from unauthorised access. Unfortunately, no system is perfect; therefore, Bogong makes no representations or warranties with regard to the sufficiency of these security measures. Bogong shall not be responsible for any actual or consequential damages that result from a lapse in compliance with this Privacy Policy because of a security breach or technical malfunction.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Bogong website. These cookies are not associated with personally identifiable information.
