7. Our Security Precautions
We endeavor to safeguard and protect our users' information. The privacy of your
Personal Information is very important to us. The servers that we store personally
identifiable information in are kept in a secure physical environment. We have
security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of
Personal Information under our control. When our registration/application
process asks users to enter Sensitive Information, and when we store and
transmit such Sensitive Information, that information is encrypted and
protected with SSL encryption software. While we use SSL encryption to protect
Sensitive Information online, we also do everything in our power to protect all
user information off-line and online. Unfortunately, no data transmission over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive
to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security
of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
However, access to your information is strictly
limited, and not accessible to the public. All of our users' information is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job are granted access to Personal Information. Our employees are
dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user information.
Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action.
In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any
applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information
security breach with respect to your Personal Information. Please be advised
that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement,
determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.
