We take your data protection and sensitivity very seriously. We employ industry standard techniques to protect against unauthorized access of data about you that we store, including personal information.
The personal information we collect about you (if any) is stored in limited access servers. We also maintain many security measures in order to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personal information within our control.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of such information or be responsible for any damage that results from a breach in security. Furthermore, you should be aware that the Internet and other various networking communication media are not entirely secure, and your information may therefore be subject to interception or loss which is beyond our reasonable control.

Accordingly, we assume no responsibility or liability for disclosure of your personal information or other information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access or other causes beyond our reasonable control.
