How We Protect Information:
We use commercially reasonable procedures to protect the personal information that we collect from you against loss, theft and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

No security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the security during transmission to us of the information you supply over the internet.
