  4. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

    We take appropriate measures to ensure that your information is not compromised. Access to personal information is restricted to employees and the above-referenced third parties on a need-to-know basis who have a specific business purpose to access your data. Our employees who are granted access to your information are bound by strict confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline for breaching these obligations. Third parties are bound by a confidentiality provision in their agreements with us, which prevents these third parties from making your information available for any reason other than that which was intended. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your personal information. We will continue to test and update our technology to make improvements as necessary in protecting your personal information.

    This site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information under our control. We use state-of-the-art SSL encryption technology to ensure that your data is secure during transmission to and from us.
