Our Website uses commercially acceptable security measures to prevent your personal information from being lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way.

If you receive an email from us that appears to be a request for personal information, do not respond because it may be a phishing scam designed to steal your personal information.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
