We have clearly defined internal policies and practices.
Although we will make commercially reasonable efforts to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties, you should be aware that there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party could find a way to thwart our security systems. This risk is heightened if you are using unsecured/public Wi-Fi.

We will engage in periodic assessments to verify that our privacy practices continue to comply with this Privacy Policy.
