Third Party Links

This Website contains links to other sites. Once you leave our Website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by our policies, including this Policy. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects Personal Data.

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your Personal Data to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

Security

It is our intent to strictly protect the security of your Personal Data, honor your choices for its intended use, and carefully protect your Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We have taken appropriate steps to safeguard and secure the Personal Data and other information we collect online. Even so, no company, including us, can fully eliminate security risks associated with the transmission of Personal Data over the Internet. You should always take into consideration that the Internet is an open forum and that data may flow across networks with little or no security measures, and therefore such information may be accessible by people other than those you intended to access it.

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the Website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to Personal Data. The computers/servers in which we store Personal Data are kept in a secure environment.

Although we use commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing our files or tampering with the Website, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will always be successful. We do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that our safeguards will protect the total privacy of your Personal Data disclosed via the Website. Your Personal Data may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users without your knowledge or permission while in transit to or from us. We cannot and do not ensure, represent, warrant, or guarantee the security of any information you transmit through the Website.

Our Website is not intended for use by those under the age of 18, nor is it targeted to those under the age of 18. If you use our Website, you hereby represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age. No one under the age of 18 may provide any information to or on our Website. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from those under the age of 18, nor do we knowingly sell or otherwise disclose the Personal Data of those under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, do not (i) use or provide any information on our Website or through any of its features, (ii) use any of the interactive or fillable features of the Website, or (iii) provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address or any other information that could be used to identify you.
