These measures include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures which include appropriate encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store Personal Information. However, as no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

b. Password. Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Your password and other access codes are private and confidential - our employees cannot gain access to them and will not ask you to reveal them.

Our employees may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet their obligations described in this Privacy Policy.

d. Breach Notification.

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, we will also notify the affected individuals of any breach of security safeguards involving the individual’s personal information under our control, if it is reasonable in the circumstances to believe that the breach creates a real risk of significant harm to the individual. We will provide indirect notification to affected individuals if direct notification would be likely to cause further harm to the affected individual, direct notification would be likely to cause undue hardship for us, or we do not have contact information for the affected individual.
