How is Your Information Secured?

We have administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to safeguard the information collected by the Online Services.  However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.  Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to the Online Services over networks that we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks.

 

Your Choices

The Online Services allow you access to your Account information for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

If you do not want the Online Services to collect information through the use of cookies, you can set your web browser to reject cookies from the Online Services.  Each browser is different, so you should check your browser’s “Help” menu to learn how to change your cookie preferences.  If you reject or block cookies from the Online Services, however, the Online Services may not function as intended.

We do not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of websites and online services in which we participate.  If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy.  Visit the following website, www.allaboutdnt.org, for more information on this developing area.
