How We Protect Your Information
We care about your personal information, and we do what we can to make sure that it’s safe. We use firewalls and other security measures to make sure that your information stays private.

Information About Links
On the Site, you may find links to 3rd party websites. We provide these links as a way to make things easier for you, but the simple inclusion of a link on our Site doesn’t necessarily mean that we endorse them. We do not have any control over 3rd party sites’ Privacy Policies or Terms of Use. Since these links aren’t under our control, we aren’t responsible for what they do.
If you provide information to the 3rd party site (not through our Site), your information will be handled via their Privacy Policy. Our privacy policy does not address the privacy or data collection of 3rd party sites.
