Security of Your Information
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices in order to protect your information and ensure it remains confidential. Electronic information (such as information collected through our website) is stored in secure systems with restricted access. Information may be encrypted before transmission. However, no method of transmitting or storing data over the Internet is completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of information. You use our Services at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please immediately notify us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If we become aware that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information. Contact us if you believe that we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected information from a child under the age of 13.
