Do Not Track Disclosure

Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a “do not track” (“DNT”) option that sends signals to the websites you visit indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking cookies as browsers with the “do not track” option selected may still accept cookies. Right now, there is no industry standard for how companies should respond to “do not track” signals, although one may be adopted in the future. We do not respond to “do not track” signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will modify this Privacy Notice accordingly. More information about “do not track” is available at www.allaboutdnt.com.

How Do We Protect and Secure Information?

We are dedicated to protecting personal information we collect. To prevent unauthorized access and to maintain and ensure the correct use of information, we have established industry standard physical, technical, and administrative controls.

We follow industry standards to protect communications submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, however, no method of transmission is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If we make material changes to the way we use your personal information or change our privacy practices, we will post those changes to this Privacy Notice, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose such information.

Although we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration, or destruction of data, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. No method of transmission or electronic storage provides certainty of security, therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security of the personal information we collect.
