Managing your personal information

We take privacy violations seriously, so we have taken reasonable steps to guard against unauthorized or unintentional processing, loss, or access to your personal information. These steps include putting in place appropriate physical, technological, and supervisory controls.

Please understand that we cannot guarantee complete protection of your personal information from online threats such as viruses, spyware, and hacking. In light of this, you agree that we are not responsible for any unauthorized disclosure, loss, or destruction of your personal data resulting from such risks.

The Act also prohibits us from keeping personal data longer than is necessary. When we no longer need your personal information for the purposes we initially informed you of, or for any other business or legal requirement, we will stop keeping it.
