We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction.
We take the protection of customer information seriously.
However, no website, electronic storage system, payment network, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
For this reason, while we take reasonable steps to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a qualifying data-security incident, we will take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.

We take privacy requests seriously, but we also need to protect customer information from unauthorized access.
Before completing certain requests, we may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity.
If someone makes a request on your behalf, we may also require reasonable evidence that the person is authorized to act for you.
