Data Security
We
have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in place that are
designed to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of
your Client Information.
We
restrict internal access to Client Information to those who need that
information in order for us to provide our products and services to
you.
However,
while we endeavor to protect the security and integrity of sensitive
Client Information, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an
open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that any
information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored
on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from
intrusion by others, such as hackers. If you correspond with us
by email or using web forms, you should be aware that your
transmission might not be secure. A third party could view the
information you send in transit by such means. We will have no
liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or
unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
If
you create an account on our website, you are responsible for
maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and
you shall be responsible for any activity that occurs using your
account credentials, whether or not you authorized such activity.
Please notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account
or any other breach of security.
If
at any time during or after our relationship we believe that the
security of your Client Information in our care may have been
compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If
a notification is appropriate, we will endeavor to notify you as
promptly as possible under the circumstances. If we have your
email address, we may notify you by email to the most recent email
address you have provided us in your account profile. Please
keep your email address in your account up to date. You can
change that email address anytime in your account profile. If
you receive a notice from us, you can print it to retain a copy of
it. To receive these notices, you must check your email account
using your computer or mobile device and email application
software. You
consent to our use of email as a means of such notification. If
you prefer for us to use the U.S. Postal Service to notify you in
this situation, please contact us using our contact information
below. You can make this
election any time, and it will apply to notifications we make after a
reasonable time thereafter for us to process your request. You
may also use this email address to request a print copy, at no
charge, of an electronic notice we have sent to you regarding a
compromise of your Client Information.
