Identifiable Information about Authorized Customers may be shared with

information or being contacted by us or by any agency acting on our
behalf.

Cookies

about the preferences of our Visitors and the services they select. We

who are given a password in order to gain access to the information. We
audit our security systems and processes on a regular basis. Sensitive
information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, is
protected by encryption protocols, in place to protect information sent
over the Internet. While we take commercially reasonable measures to
maintain a secure site, electronic communications and databases are
subject to errors, tampering and break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or
warrant that such events will not take place and we will not be liable
to Visitors or Authorized Customers for any such occurrences.
How
can Visitors correct any inaccuracies in Personally Identifiable
Information?
Visitors
and Authorized Customers may contact us to update Personally
Identifiable Information about them or to correct any inaccuracies by

Can
a Visitor delete or deactivate Personally Identifiable Information
collected by the Site?
We
provide Visitors and Authorized Customers with a mechanism to
delete/deactivate Personally Identifiable Information from the Site's
database by contacting us through the Contact page. However, because of backups
and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a Visitor's
entry without retaining some residual information. An individual who
requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will
have this information functionally deleted, and we will not sell,
transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that
individual in any way moving forward.
What
happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We
will let our Visitors and Authorized Customers know about changes to
our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site. However, if we
are changing our privacy policy in a manner that might cause disclosure
of Personally Identifiable Information that a Visitor or Authorized
Customer has previously requested not be disclosed, we will contact
such Visitor or Authorized Customer to allow such Visitor or Authorized
Customer to prevent such disclosure.
