Security
- We use SSL certificates to protect your PII as you transmit it from your computer to the Site and to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We also use site monitoring and intrusion detection scans along with monthly Site security scans to prevent attacks, and our hosting company also takes certain precautions. But no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from the Site may not be secure. Be careful about sending us any confidential information, and keep secure any passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features that you use on the Site.
Protection of information
- You are responsible for maintaining the privacy of your unique password and account information and for controlling access to your communications from the Site at all times.

Nevertheless, we cannot (i) ensure or warrant the security of any PII that is transmitted or collected when you use the Site or (ii) guarantee that information stored on or transmitted through the Site may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. If any PII under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation, and where appropriate, we will notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.
- The Site may contain links or references to other sites in addition to the ones we have already mentioned. Please be aware that we do not control such other sites and that, in any case, this Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.
