Protection of Personal Information
We maintain appropriate physical, technological, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, and destruction.  Our data networks are protected by firewalls and intrusion-detection sensors.  Only those who have a "need-to-know" are authorized to access member accounts, and only after they've been trained on our security procedures.

We use reasonable measures to help protect your personal information and comply with applicable data security laws, but no Web site or database is completely secure, or "hacker proof."  Protect yourself and help us prevent computer crime by carefully guarding your password.  Our Sites do not use Spyware. If you believe the security of your account has been breached, contact us.
