How We Protect the Security of Your Personal Information
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, and unauthorized loss or disclosure, including by retaining the services of third party vendors who have procedures in place to protect personal information. We have procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so. Unfortunately, no data transmission or repository can be one hundred percent secure. As a result, while we will strive to protect your personal information, we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the security of any of your personal information.

Please note that these rights may not be absolute.
