However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Such companies and entities may be engaged in, among other things, preparing and sending notifications and the provision of support services.

If you are visiting from the European Union or the broader European Economic Area or other regions with laws governing information collection and use that may differ from those of the United States of America or any one or more of its individual States, please note that you are transferring your Personal Information to the United States of America. The laws of some countries may not provide the same levels of protection of Personal Information as your home country, particularly if you are resident in the European Union or the broader European Economic Area. By submitting information, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage, use, and processing of information about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
