3. What security measures are taken regarding the Website?
We have taken precautions to protect the Website data and information under our control from misuse, loss, or alteration. We deploy administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk. Unfortunately, no system can ensure complete security, and you should take steps to protect your information and transmissions. You must decide the security measures that are appropriate for you; however, common examples are keeping your login identification and password secure and making sure you completely log out when you have finished using any access-restricted section of the Website.

We will post all changes to our Privacy Policy here so you may always become aware of what information we collect, use, and disclose.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, your use of the Website or, where applicable, failure to opt-out or object after such notice is delivered or posted is deemed to be acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, reorganization, or sale of assets that include your information, your information may be transferred to a new legal entity and become subject to a different privacy policy. You will be notified of any such transfer and, unless your relationship continues with the new entity or as otherwise permitted by applicable law, be provided an opportunity to request deletion of your information.

We may store your User Information for so long as required by law or as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or to protect or enforce our rights.

We do not knowingly permit third parties to collect personal information about our Users’ online activities over time and across different websites.
