There are several steps that you can take to protect your Personal Information: (1) when using a public computer make sure no one is viewing the information you are inputting and ensure that you have properly “logged off” the Site before leaving and (2) never give your Site username or password to anyone and do not save it in a location that may be accessed by others. To reiterate, the Site has security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information that we obtain from you, but we make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss, misuse, or alteration to you or to any third party.
