 How we protect your information

We cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the Internet, but we take reasonable administrative and technical steps to help safeguard your personal information against unauthorized use or disclosure; for example:

  • We do not engage in telephone marketing, and we will not ask for personal information through unsolicited emails, U.S. Postal Mail, or any other mail service provider;
  • We will collect personal information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us through the use of our Site or the use of our services; and,
