Only authorized personnel have access to this information, and they are required to treat the information as confidential.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Users are responsible for ensuring that any login credentials, including passwords, are kept confidential and secure.
