WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We use servers in the United States to process and store Personal Data.
While no server can be completely secure, we make reasonable efforts to ensure that these servers are kept in a secure, locked environment with restricted access and we have on our own, and in conjunction with the third parties who operate the servers, established physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information as are standard in our industry and as are reasonable based on the size of our company.
Personal Data stored by us may be accessed and processed by staff operating outside your jurisdiction, who work either for us or for one of our Business Partners. This staff may be engaged in fulfilling your order or request, processing a payment, and/or providing support services to us. We require these Business Partners to agree to treat your Personal Data securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We have implemented a variety of technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, unlawful processing, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, alteration, and destruction. These include limiting access to the databases to a limited number of authorized staff, who are required to enter into non-disclosure agreements before access is afforded to them and who can only access the database for legitimate preauthorized purposes. Further, access to the databases is password protected. We also have in place audit logs, intrusion detection software, anti-virus or malware protection, and system integrity tools to further protect data stored on these databases.

We disclaim any and all liability for disclosure of any information obtained due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties as more specifically detailed in our Disclaimers. ANY TRANSMISSION IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
