Once we receive your information, we make efforts to ensure security on our systems. We use physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information about you.
If we learn of a security breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using this website, or by providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of this website. We may post a notice on this website if a security breach occurs. If this happens, you will need a web browser enabling you to view this website. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.
