Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Service cannot be guaranteed and you transmit such information at your own risk; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:

While we are committed to taking all reasonable precautions to protect your Personal Information, there are steps you can take as well; such as:

  • Use only secure websites when disclosing your information. Secure pages begin with "https."

  • Create strong passwords and use them wisely (e.g., don't use the same password for us that you use for your bank, for example).

  • Never respond to unsolicited requests for your social security number or financial information.

  • Do not disclose your passwords to the Services or your Account Information to any other person.

  • Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
