We strive to protect your personal information in our possession or control, including information transferred to a third-party service provider or representative, from the risk of loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or misuse. We comply with applicable laws and regulations and have implemented reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your information that are appropriate for its sensitivity. For example, we encrypt your personal information and we use advanced firewall technology and layered security tools to protect our environment.

We regularly train employees to keep your information safe. Despite the measures outlined above, however, no method of information transmission or information storage is completely secure or error-free, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. We have procedures in place to help us deal with suspected or actual privacy incidents or breaches, and we will notify you and any applicable regulator where legally required to do so.
