Data Security We have implemented physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to secure your information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
SSL Certificate: We employ secure web servers hosted in a certified data center. The "s" in the "https" address of our web pages, as well as security notices displayed by certain browsers, indicate that SSL is in use. A SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate is used for the secure encrypted exchange of data between your web browser and this Website using SSL encryption. This encryption helps safeguard personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal credentials.
Firewall Protection: Once we have your information, we store it behind a firewall barrier designed to obstruct unauthorized access to or from our network.
Password and Username Verification: For Website components which require a authentication, an additional step to protect your information is the use of a unique username and password for your account. This helps prevent someone from impersonating you to access the information stored on the Website.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure or free of error. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control as information may flow across networks with little or no security measures and be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party. We cannot be held responsible for unauthorized or unintended access that is beyond our control and any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We urge you to take precautions to protect your personal data when making use of the Internet. Do not reuse your password across websites, change it often, and use a password phrase (such as a sentence) rather than a single word. It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. We strongly recommend the use of a password manager for securely managing your passwords and the creation of strong passwords.
