We are committed to ensuring that the personal information we collect is secure. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.
