These measures include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures which include appropriate encryption, firewalls, and physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store Personal Information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or     method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and so you should always exercise caution when disclosing sensitive information over the internet.

  2. Password. Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Your password and other access codes are private and confidential– our employees cannot gain access to them and will not ask you to reveal them. It is your responsibility to use  your best efforts to prevent unauthorized access to your account by selecting your password appropriately, and limiting unauthorized access to your computer, browser and mobile platform.

Confidentiality obligations. We restrict access to your Personal Information to our employees, contractors and suppliers who need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide our Services to you.

Our employees may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet their obligations described in this Privacy Policy.

We ask individual Users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. We will advise you of any applicable fee prior to     proceeding with your request.
