This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site to which this Site contains a link or a widget on our site.

We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Information under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us. The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and personal health information) on our forms, we encrypt that information once it is entered.

If you have submitted or provided your personally identifiable Personal Information to us, and would like us to remove it from our database (where applicable by law), submitting to our Unsubscribe Page will also complete this action of removal. Similarly, if you receive communications from us that you prefer not to receive, you may opt out from receiving these communications by specifically indicating this preference through our contact form or by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in the email communications you receive. If you opt-out, we will not contact you after we have processed your opt-out request (up to 5 days) unless otherwise provided in this privacy policy. However, if we shared your information with third parties prior to the processing of your opt-out request, such third parties may continue to contact you. If you receive email correspondence from third parties, you should contact such third parties directly with respect to opting out of such third party communications.

We will seek to comply with your requests as soon as reasonably practicable. If you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related communications from us, we may still send you important administrative messages, of which you cannot opt-out.
