How do we protect your information?
The security of your personal information is important to us. We use encrypted SSL technology for safe transactions and restrict database access to authorized personnel only. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, and to guard that information against loss, misuse, or alteration.
Please note that no method of internet transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we employ commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Tracking User Behavior
We may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit, in order to determine what services are the most popular.
Use of Cookies
We may use “cookies” to provide you with the best user experience possible. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
Cookie information is stored in your browser and performs functions such as recognizing you when you return to our website and helping our team to understand which sections of the website you find most useful. We collect and store this information only in aggregate, or combined, form; we do not collect personally identifiable information with cookies.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. When cookies are disabled or denied, cookieless pings are sent instead to Google Analytics for future measurement. Google Analytics uses cookieless pings for modeling of non-identifying and aggregated information which may include device type, browser type, conversion type, time of day and country. Cookieless in this context means that no cookies are being set in the visitor’s browser to collect the information.
Analytics:
We utilize Google Analytics to determine how many users visit our site, how often they visit the site, and to better understand the areas of greatest interest to our visitors. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.
